Combat age discrimination in your workplace.

Everyone experiences age-related bias at some point in their careers, but for women the costs are greater. Sure, there are laws and organizational rules prohibiting age-related discrimination, but lived experience shows there''s no "right age" to be a woman. Whether you''re seen as too old or too young, ageism affects the opportunities you have access to, how others perceive you, and how much your contributions are valued.

Overcoming Ageism offers stories, research, and advice about navigating gendered age discrimination and bias at work. From advocating for yourself to ensuring continual learning and curiosity, you''ll learn how to show others the unique expertise you bring to the organization and take back control of your career growth.

This book will inspire you to:

• Establish your credibility with those around you
• Overcome imposter syndrome
• Build a support system across age groups
• Work together to end age bias in your organization
