Details: From the Supreme Court to the conference room to the classroom, women find themselves interrupted much more often than their male counterparts. Worse, a 2015 Yale University study revealed that women executives who spoke more often than their peers were rated 14% less competent, while male executives who did the same thing did enjoyed a 10% competency bump. And a 2016 Study from usc found women account for only a third of Speaking roles in top U. S. Movies. It’s undeniable: women’s voices aren’t being heard at work, at home, in every facet of their lives. The fault lies not with women, but in a culture that seeks to silence women’s voices.

Most importantly, it includes solutions for change. Positive, confident and supportive, this welcome and much need guide will help reshape the world and make it better for women and for everyone.
