Award-winning writer, economist, and Roosevelt Institute Fellow Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman joins bestselling author and Vice Chair of the Clinton Foundation, Dr. Chelsea Clinton for a frank and revealing conversation about how expensive it is to be a woman and what we can all do about it— and Opoku-Agyeman’s new book Double Tax: How Women of Color Are Overcharged and Underpaid.
Why is it so expensive to be a woman in America? The “pink tax” has gained widespread recognition in recent years, but what happens when you look at the costs that define a woman’s entire life, especially across racial lines? In The Double Tax, Opoku-Agyeman breaks down the disparities that women face as they navigate life’s biggest moments — in job opportunities, salaries, housing costs, childcare access, and generational wealth.
How can we take action to close this gap? In a special conversation with Dr. Clinton, hear Opoku-Agyeman offer concrete solutions for how everyday people, local communities, and global leaders alike can relieve women of unnecessary costs — unlocking potential for economic and social growth in America and a new, level playing field for all.
