“Manterrupting” and Other Male-Female Communication Quirks

“You have to be able to identify these behaviors in a way that people will remember…[The new terminology] has prompted this huge cultural conversation that we were not having before at all.” - Jessica Bennett

In this episode, Gloria welcomes to the show journalist and author, Jessica Bennett. Jessica is the gender editor of The New York Times, working to expand global coverage of women, gender and society across platforms.
