b'From board rooms to town halls to IEP meetings to doctor\'s offices, there are places where women speaking up for what they want or need are either ignored, resented, or just not taken seriously. (Anyone who\'s ever had been told by a contractor to "put her husband on the phone, and I\'ll explain it to him" can tell you that.)\\nThat\'s why our girls need to be trained in the arts of asking and negotiating\\u2013\\xa0not only because those are things we don\\u2019t teach our daughters as well as we teach our sons, but also because the world often doesn\\u2019t reward women who speak up.\\nWe discuss how to value our daughters\' voices\\u2013 and teach them to do the same\\u2013 with Marisa Porges, author of the new book WHAT GIRLS NEED: How to Raise Bold, Courageous, and Resilient Women. \\n\\nHere are links to other writing on the subject that we discuss in this episode:\\nWomen Don\'t Ask: Negotiation and the Gender Divide by Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever\\xa0\\nDeborah A.
