Antisexist: Challenge Sexism, Champion Women’s Rights, and Create Equality

Dr. Lynn Schmidt, author, and a frequent presenter in the PWN Global Webinar series, has recently published a new book titled Antisexist: Challenge Sexism, Champion Women’s Rights, and Create Equality. Sexism impacts women and girls in a multitude of ways. She’s bossy. She’s abrasive. She’s not leadership material. She acts like a man. The words we use are only one part of the problem.

Everyone has sexist biases, implicit or explicit. A United Nations study reported that 9 out of 10 people, men and women, have at least one deeply ingrained bias towards women. Sexism leads to four outcomes; microaggressions, discrimination, harassment, and violence. Antisexist provides compelling examples of sexist behaviors and practical action steps that enable you to understand and manage sexism.

Antisexist contains powerful stories from a diverse group of men and women from around the world. The intersectionality of sexism with other biases including racism, ageism, and ableism, is explored. The book provides a roadmap for being Antisexist by challenging sexism, championing women’s rights, and creating equality. Choose to stop sexism towards women and girls and create a more equitable world. 

Antisexist has a global distribution and is available at most booksellers.
