Everyday Acts of Sexism
Laura Bates, founder of the Everyday Sexism Project and the author of Everyday Sexism (A Thomas Dunne Book for St. Martin's Griffin, 2016), started gathering women's stories of the daily encounters that left them feeling diminished by sexism.
Four years and over 100,000 entries from around the world later, she talks about the stories and what comes next for feminism.
