If you read only one thing this year, read Antisexist. Beautifully written, yet mincing no words when it comes to holding the reader accountable, this book makes the business, moral, and personal case for combatting sexist attitudes and behaviors in our own lives and communities. The pages are jam-packed with poignant stories from women about the lived experience of sexism-often exacerbated by intersectional identities-and men at various stages in their own journey as accomplices and co-conspirators for change. We all own responsibility for banishing sexism, and this amazing book is where our antisexist journey begins. -W. Brad Johnson, PhD, Professor, United States Naval Academy, and Faculty Associate, Johns Hopkins University, coauthor of Good Guys: How Men Can Be Better Allies for Women in the Workplace It's not enough to not be sexist. We need more antisexists. Antisexists speak up and advocate for real systemic change. Dr. Schmidt lays out the action plan for all humans to be active allies against sexism. -Julie Kratz, author of Allyship in Action and gender equity advocate and speaker With Antisexist, Lynn Schmidt has delivered a much-needed new toolkit that is a concise and practical guide for anyone who wants to truly show up and take action as a co-conspirator and collaborator with women to stamp out sexism. Men and women ready to launch their journey toward being antisexist will find this book filled with relatable experiences and actionable strategies for translating their good intentions into meaningful action and outcomes. A must-read for any manager or leader! -David G. Smith, PhD, Associate Professor in the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School and co-author of Good Guys: How Men Can Become Better Allies for Women in the Workplace Antisexist is the book that every senior leader working to achieve gender equality in their workplace should read. It is compelling, concise, and actionable. Dr. Schmidt makes being antisexist accessible to everyone. -Marie Hemingway, Founder and CTO, Speak Out Revolution Men will find Antisexist sobering, humbling, and challenging-analogous to the way that George Floyd's murder was in prompting soul-searching and self-reflection about white privilege. Antisexist will turbo-charge men as allies in the fight against sexism and gender inequity. Women will be inspired by Dr. Schmidt's passion and wisdom for her mission of transforming helplessness to hopefulness, despair into determination, anger into action. -Rick Brandon, PhD, President, Brandon Partners, author of Straight Talk
