Description
Imagine a world where black women are only paid
58 cents per every dollar paid to white men.
Imagine a world where black women are required
to work an extra 214 days per year to earn the
same as their white counterparts.
Imagine living in a world where black women did
not realize equity in pay regardless of their job
type, education, or years of experience.
Welcome to the reality of Invisible Women.
Invisible Women: Addressing The Intersection of Pay and Racism in
The Workplace chronicles the who, what, when, where, how, and why of
two Sales Managers subjected to the gender pay gap for black women,
in a microcosm of systems and infrastructures largely constructed for
the success of and by men. This book dives beneath the surface to
uncover startling statistics about the gender pay gap for black women
and serves as proof of the continual construction of systemic entities
that lack regard for black women in the workplace.
Gaps in knowledge, false documentation of processes and procedures,
a lack of attention to history, and bias are all contributing factors that
result in long-lasting negative effects on the lives of black women.
