This was not the book I wanted to write. Yet it is the most personal and brutally honest thing I've ever written, and maybe the most important.

I am fighting this battle for all men and women who deserve a safe place to work every day. I am fighting this battle for my daughter, and the future generations of young women who should never have to question if they earned a job based on merit and not their looks, fear for their job security because they said "No", or feel uncomfortable around a counterpart because they have been allowed to behave in an unacceptable manner.
