Delia suits up / by Aksel, Amanda,author.;
"If you had one day to go undercover and smash the patriarchy, would you? Delia Reese is about to try in this breakout novel that's 13 Going on 30 meets What Women Want. Delia Reese wants to break Wall Street's glass ceiling. Landing her dream job at Monty Fuhrmann, a world-class investment bank, would also bring her closer to her long-time, unattainable crush, Eric. But despite her stellar resume, the overwhelmingly male superiors in her field don't see past pink shirts and tailored skirts. Following a failed interview, she commiserates with her roommates and drunkenly finds herself wishing she was a man. Hey, if society wasn't locked into gender roles, she'd probably already be pitching IPOs. The next morning, Delia wakes up feeling different. . . because she's in an unfamiliar, masculine body. Convincing her roommates that she's the same Delia proves to be almost as challenging as her ill-aimed morning pee. This is not how she planned to get ahead. But...since her wish came true, she might as well takeadvantage. She's got a fresh perspective, a borrowed suit, and a new name--Dick. And she's got a lot to prove" --

It's not you, it's the workplace : women's conflict at work and the bias that built it / by Kramer, Andrea S.,author.(CARDINAL)751398; Harris, Alton B.,author.(CARDINAL)412157;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 263-298) and index.Kramer and Harris use their combined--but distinctive--female and male perspectives to provide new and discerning viewpoints on the often-fraught scenarios of women working for, working with, supervising, and collaborating with other women. In doing so, the authors provide immediately practical techniques that will allow women to improve their relationships with other women in the workplace. It's Not You, It's The Workplace offers a fresh approach to understanding why women's relationships with other women at work are often fraught and when they are, have the potential to completely derail women's careers. It's a pervasive and complicated issue which, until now, has been falsely represented by books that paint women as inherently bitchy back-stabbers who cannot help but have challenging relationships with other women. As the authors prove, this is patently untrue! Immensely practical, the book features real-world advice and tactics to overcome and avoid workplace conflict, and most importantly, build on the positive aspects of women to women relationships, developing stronger networks that foster women's career success and creating a more supportive and satisfying work environment. -- Provided by publisher.Part I.

Claiming the B in LGBT : illuminating the bisexual narrative / by Harrad, Kate,editor.(CARDINAL)799856; Sharif Williams, H.,author of foreword.(CARDINAL)788416;
"Even as the broader LGBT community enjoys political and societal advances in North America, the bisexual community still today contends with decades of misinformation stereotyping them as innately indecisive, self-loathing, and untrustworthy. Claiming the B in LGBT strives to give bisexuals a seat at the table. This guidebook to the history and future of the bisexual movement fuses a chronology of bisexual organizing with essays, poems, and articles detailing the lived experiences of bisexual activities struggling against a dominant culture driven by norms of monosexual attraction, compulsory monogamy, and inflexible notions of gender expression and identity. Kate Harrad's anthology of a thriving identity yearning to realize itself provides a vision of bisexuality that is beyond gay and straight, rather than left to merely occupy the space between" -- "A guidebook to the history and future of the bisexual movement.

The Politics Of Gender And Sexuality / by Karpan, Andrew,editor.(CARDINAL)831458;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Over the past century, great advancements have been made in securing the fundamental rights of women, gender-diverse people, and LGBTQ+ people. Laws have been passed to protect the civil rights of all people regardless of gender and sexuality and protect against discrimination in housing, the workplace, and federally funded programs like health care and education. However, despite these strides there are still numerous gender and sexuality-related political issues being hotly debated today. The Supreme Court's 2022 decision to overthrow Roe v. Wade, which protected a woman's right to have an abortion, has brought debates about reproductive rights into the spotlight. Meanwhile, attempts to ban books and other media featuring LGBTQ+ content and to prevent transgender athletes from participating in sports have also caused gender and sexuality to be major points of interest in today's political climate. These issues and more are explored in this timely volume" --
