Award-winning researcher, speaker, and writer Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyemen is releasing her new book, The Double Tax: How Women of Color Are Overcharged and Underpaid, at a critical moment when research and advocacy on the advancement of women of color are needed more than ever. Misogynoir and intersectional biases shape the power structures that run our economy, leaving skilled workers and visionary leaders as untapped potential and reinforcing the distortionary effects of inequality.
The Institute for Women’s Policy Research, The Century Foundation, and Groundwork Collaborative are coming together for a conversation with Anna Gifty, who will be joined by Dr. Jamila K. Taylor and Angela Hanks to explore the current issues facing women of color in advancement and leadership and articulate why Black women must be centered in the reimagining of our economy and society. A book signing will follow the discussion, with a limited number of complimentary books available for attendees.
