A Lesson on Feminist Leadership
Feminist Management & Leadership
In this episode, herdacious host Lorelei chats with Cat Ashton about the value of feminism in the workplace. Four times more women than men dropped out of the labor force in 2020 due to COVID-19 challenges. Regardless of whether it’s because of pandemic-related causes or childcare duties, one thing is clear: the workplace is disproportionately unforgiving to women's experiences. As a feminist leader and entrepreneur, Cat teaches us that the gender inequities pervading the workplace today can only be challenged once we begin to understand and accommodate the candid lives of working women. From unlearning our own socialization to creating an empathetic culture, Cat helps us realize that underneath the job titles and day-to-day do’s, we are people first. So, let us go forth with a sense of confidence and unapologetically bring our authentic feminist selves into the workplace!
