The Invisible Women: Addressing the Intersection of Pay and Racism In The Workplace

Imagine a world where black women are only paid

58 cents per every dollar paid to white men.

Imagine a world where black women are required

to work an extra 214 days per year to earn the

same as their white counterparts.

Imagine living in a world where black women did

not realize equity in pay regardless of their job

type, education, or years of experience.

Welcome to the reality of Invisible Women.

Invisible Women: Addressing The Intersection of Pay and Racism in

The Workplace chronicles the who, what, when, where, how, and why of

two Sales Managers subjected to the gender pay gap for black women,

in a microcosm of systems and infrastructures largely constructed for

the success of and by men. This book dives beneath the surface to

uncover startling statistics about the gender pay gap for black women

and serves as proof of the continual construction of systemic entities

that lack regard for black women in the workplace.

Gaps in knowledge, false documentation of processes and procedures,

a lack of attention to history, and bias are all contributing factors that

result in long-lasting negative effects on the lives of black women.
