Du musst nicht noch mehr arbeiten, um beruflich erfolgreich zu sein. Viele Frauen rackern sich unnötig ab. Sie setzen primär auf ihre fachliche Kompetenz, um befördert zu werden. Falsch.

In her powerful debut work Lean Out, acclaimed journalist Dawn Foster unpicks how the purportedly feminist message of Sandberg’s book neatly exempts patriarchy, capitalism, and business from any responsibility for changing the position of women in contemporary culture. It looks at the rise of a corporate “one percent feminism” and at how feminism has been defanged and depoliticized at a time when women have borne the brunt of the financial crash, and the gap between rich and poor is widening faster than ever.

My focus, like many others, began to shift during the 2020 pandemic. The industry started to boom with new models flocking online just trying to put in a hard day’s work and get paid for it.

I noticed that there was a huge gap in representation and education on how to work online, and stay safe while doing it.

More than 50 years since the passage of the Equal Pay Act, the wage gap still hovers at 80 percent, and only five percent of CEOs in the Fortune 500 are women. Today, rising up the ranks in many companies still often means cutthroat, win-at-all-costs tactics, where being the loudest voice in the room is more important than being the person with the best ideas for moving the company forward. Not surprisingly, most women don’t want to play this game.
