A book about everything women should know before being thrown into the cold-hearted world of capitalism.
The world of work is political – especially for people who have been socialized as female. A lot of women feel like impostors, pseudo-feminist mindsets promote lone-warriordom, and our mental health is suffering under the prevailing hustle culture. In short: we are far from having overcome the patriarchy, and structural inequality is the norm.
Not Your Business, Babe! is an entertaining feminist guide to our world of work. Verena Bogner reports on her own experiences with great and terrible bosses, talks to experts about red flags when job hunting and analyzes how the Kardashians, Netflix series and pop songs shape our idea of working women. Schools and universities don’t teach us what success at work can look like today, how women should empower each other and which playlist to listen to on the way to a salary negotiation – that’s what this book is for.
