In the tempestuous mid-nineteenth century, as slavery consumed Congressional debate and America careened toward civil war and split apart-when the very future of the nation hung in the balance-Charles Sumner’s voice rang strongest, bravest, and most unwavering.

A stirring, comprehensive look at the state of women in the workforce-why women’s progress has stalled, how our economy fosters unproductive competition, and how we can fix the system that holds women back.

It is the most educated women who have fallen the furthest behind. Blue-collar women hold the most insecure and badly paid jobs in our economy.
