For women disillusioned by the failed promises of girl power, a data-driven guide that reveals the hidden forces still fueling gender inequality at work. Third Place Books happily welcomes journalist Stefanie O'Connell for a discussion of her book The Ambition Penalty: How Corporate Culture Tells Women to Step Up—and Then Pushes Them Down, in conversation with Ruchika T.

Bring your questions, your friends, your stories about how your ambition has been penalized, and your dreams for a future that celebrates women's ambition loudly and proudly.
