About the Dick Clique
While gender inequality is nothing new having existed in the workplace for decades, it is more prevalent now than ever before with statistics showing that women on average earn 80% less than men. Let us not be fooled. The inequality affects much more than just our pay. It includes how we as women are treated, the recognition we receive, the respect we garner and the opportunity for career advancement. With the prevalence of the #meetoo movement our voices are being heard on a nationwide scale like never before. The mainstream media have finally joined the conversation. But is that enough? I say no. It’s not.
Surviving the Dick Clique starts by defining the dick clique and pin points the characteristics of the clique and the activities they engage in. Caplan pulls you into her world as she sheds light on her own experiences, from having to attend strip joints and being bullied, to being publicly disrespected and being filled with self doubt.
Surviving the dick clique is much more than a cautionary tale and a guide. It uplifts, inspires, enlightens and motivates. It encourages the reader to protect their female brand, find female allies, become a “dick” in your own right and so much more.
