We discuss her new book, The Double Tax: How Women of Color Are Overcharged and Underpaid, which offers a critical analysis of systemic economic inequities and insights into why it's disproportionately expensive to be a woman—especially a woman of color—in contemporary America.Anna and I discuss about why women—especially women of color—are undervalued in the American economy, and how their experience foreshadows what’s in store for all women.
