Elizabeth C. Wolfe (Author)
Dr. Elizabeth C. Wolfe is a specialist in Conflict Analysis and Resolution. She explores and articulates how individuals (micro) are situated in macro conflict, and how one negotiates personal agency in the face of overwhelming adversity. Dr. Wolfe has diversely applied her skill set across issues and sectors. In the philanthropic field she explored human trafficking across India, Europe, and the United States. Prior to that, Dr. Wolfe worked to counter post-war communal violence in West Africa through traditional tribal engagement efforts. Her other areas of professional focus have been former child soldier reintegration, genocide prevention, and countering violent extremism. She served as a Senior Scientist at a Human Security company that creates instructional material for pre-deployment Green Berets at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare School and Center. She has served as a consultant to nonprofit organizations and philanthropic foundations and publishes on issues optimizing donor engagement. Dr. Wolfe works with private clients across sectors including private defense, yachting, aviation, real estate, and finance. She writes on, facilitates discussions, and intervenes on sensitive topics including gender violence and inequality, GLBTQ issues, youth and workplace bullying, and homophobia. Her previous work was in political campaigning, fundraising, strategy, and press. In only one of her professional positions has she not encountered overt sexism.

In the context of the 2016 presidential election, which was rife with charges of sexist actions, this book explains how common such behavior is among executives, why law doesn't protect victims, and how female professionals can bring change. Who do you report sexism to when the offender owns the company? "Overt and intentional sexism" against women by powerful men in politics, business, academia, and across the white-collar world in public and private institutions is common.

Elizabeth C. Wolfe, a conflict analysis and resolution specialist, details how female executives, even at the pinnacle of their careers, remain vulnerable to their male colleagues.

In this book, women executives from nine countries explain how their career advancement and earning potential are continuously harmed though overt sexism, sexist social behavior, and microaggressions—those damaging behaviors that are in a gray area but are not legally actionable. Wolfe further examines why law does not protect these women: sexism, like racism, is a way of thinking and so cannot be legislated.

Each "-ism" has legal protections against documentable actions, but ways of thinking, socializing rituals, and microaggressions are not actionable by law. Wolfe details the minds of sexists, describes how sexism is "socialized," and explains how to name each sexist behavior, address it, and take action to stop it.
