Synopsis

Gender equity can't happen without racial equity. We need Shared Sisterhood.

Bias persists in organizations and society. Despite efforts that have been made in the last few decades, gender and racioethnic equity still hasn't been achieved. What's worse, Black, Indigenous, Asian, and Latina women are being held back more than their White counterparts.

Professor Tina Opie first started Shared Sisterhood as a movement to drive gender and racial equity in organizations. Since then, she and professor Beth A. Livingston have worked together to spread the word to leaders across organizations, with thousands of followers joining the cause. In this book, they explain how to use vulnerability, trust, empathy, and risk-taking to build Shared Sisterhood and break down three key parts of the process:

1. Dig into your own assumptions around racioethnicity, gender, and power

2. Bridge the divide between women of all backgrounds through authentic relationships

3. Advance all women across the organization and beyond

Balancing a mix of history, research, and real-life examples—including the authors' own experiences—this book encourages everyone to join Shared Sisterhood and advance equity for all.

Our country is incredibly polarized with some wanting to preserve power and structures as they have always been (and with it, structural racism and inequity) and othe......more

Goodreads review by Vanessa on September 08, 2022

This book is special. It is able to convey the complexity of bias and what it takes to create an equitable organization while still being immensely readable and hopeful. I don’t know any book like it that is so intersectional and multidimensional in its analysis while also being intimate, personal,......more

Got my copy yesterday and finished it in one day. Man, was this book mind blowing. I need to meet these authors. This is a subject I’ve been scratching my head about for years in the workplace and about a hundred lightbulbs went off while reading it. You should see my notes. Talk about changing the......more

Goodreads review by Adam on October 17, 2022

SHARED SISTERHOOD is a powerful and necessary book that offers a new path to equity. We need to stop thinking about gender equity and racial equity as separate goals. We need to stop focusing our attention on treating individual character flaws and start thinking about collective action. Tina Opie a......more
