and WHY DOES THE BILL RUN HIGHER FOR WOMEN OF COLOR?
“Every woman needs to read this book.” - Chelsea Clinton
You've probably heard of the pink tax—that additional price women pay to exist in the same world as men. Now meet the double tax, the compounded cost of racism and sexism or the pink tax and then some.
The Double Tax dares to ask why it’s so expensive to be a woman in America and why it doesn’t have to be this way. Throughout the book, Anna Gifty reveals that women spend more money, time, and effort than men across areas like beauty, motherhood, and career, and that Black and white women lead vastly different lives.
These differences, highlighted through hundreds of conversations and countless studies, reveal that the clearest path forward to reducing costs for all women is to ensure that no woman is left behind.
fACT: Being a woman is expensive.
