Aprašymas

Have you ever noticed how men and women speak differently at work? At the pub? Around your dinner table? Did you know that women get interrupted 2.8 times more than men? Have you noticed how women are taken less seriously than men - even when making the same point?

Since a young age, Dr Alice has consistently questioned why people behave in certain ways and why certain people seem to be listened to over others. Later diagnosed with autism, her frustration led her to dive deep into the research to find answers; soon , she quickly became a leading expert in understanding the hidden dynamics of how men and women communicate differently - and at what cost.

Female Coded uncovers the shocking way women are using language to their disadvantage. From apologising in emails to underselling their expertise, women are using female-coded language that sets them back from their male peers. Until we address the way gendered language shapes our interactions, we will continue to see these imbalances play out in every aspect of our lives.

For the first time, this book examines how language biases emerge in everyday life, and provides frameworks and actionable steps so you can leverage your voice. Armed with strategies to overcome these linguistic traps, you will transform both professional and personal conversations, leading you to stand firm and confident in your communication, so you can eliminate second-guessing and make your voice heard.

Including interviews from pioneering women, this book is the essential next read for fans of Invisible Women and The Authority Gap.
