Book Talk: The Ambition Penalty with Author Stefanie O’Connell
Thursday, November 12, 2026 @ 12:50 pm - 2:00 pm
Join us for a conversation with award-winning journalist Stefanie O’Connell to discuss her new book, The Ambition Penalty: How Corporate Culture Tells Women to Step Up—and Then Pushes Them Down.
O’Connell examines how power and gender collide in professional environments to keep women “in their place.” Her reporting offers a data-driven look at corporate culture and the structural barriers women face as they navigate their careers. Join us for an engaging discussion on workplace equity, gender dynamics, and what it takes to foster meaningful institutional change. RSVP here.
