Firestarters with Shannon Watts

Shannon Watts and Anna Gifty on "The Double Tax" women pay in America


Listen Later

I loved getting to talk with Anna Gifty, an award-winning researcher and writer and doctoral student at Harvard Kennedy School studying public policy and economics. We discuss her new book, The Double Tax: How Women of Color Are Overcharged and Underpaid, which offers a critical analysis of systemic economic inequities and insights into why it's disproportionately expensive to be a woman—especially a woman of color—in contemporary America.

Anna and I discuss about why women—especially women of color—are undervalued in the American economy, and how their experience foreshadows what’s in store for all women. Please watch the replay of our conversation, grab a copy of Anna’s book, and check out her tour dates at annagifty.com
