The book highlights the systemic inequities faced by women in the American workforce, revealing a two-tiered system where many working women lack essential rights. It critiques the legislative compromises that exclude vulnerable groups such as domestic workers, part-time employees, and immigrants from protections like minimum wage and maternity leave. Caroline Fredrickson, a seasoned advocate, exposes how these marginalized workers are sacrificed in policy-making, warning that their plight could become the norm for all American workers if trends persist.
