When the American journalist and writer Jessica Bennett was starting out on her career she would regularly get together with her friends and peers to eat, chat and share their experiences of the subtle sexist behaviour they experienced in the workplace. They called this group their 'Feminist Fight Club' and developed tactics to defeat 'manterrupting' and the 'bro-propriating' of their ideas. Jessica's book; 'Feminist Fight Club' is a practical guide to battling sexism at work. She joins Jane to share her arsenal of feminist weapons to fight patriarchy in the workplace.
