SCREWNOMICS
How Our Economy Works Against Women and Real Ways to Make Lasting Change
by Rickey Gard Diamond
Illustrated by Peaco Todd
She Writes Press
Screwnomics issues a wake-up call for today's women to join what has been a nearly exclusively male conversation for the past 2,500 years. It explains the sexual history of economics, and the unspoken but widely applied economic theory that women should always work for less or, better yet, for free. Offering hope for a better future, it is written "for those who only keep the whole show going, making sure everyone eats and has clean socks."
