Knowing Your Value

In her first book, the New York Times bestseller All Things At Once, Mika Brzezinski helped women confront the unique professional and personal challenges they face in the key moments of their lives by offering a candid look at her own triumphs and failures. Now Mika is addressing a very specific hot-button issue, and one of the most complicated aspects of a woman's career: value in the workplace.

It's no secret that women have long been overlooked and under-compensated, and while great strides have been made in recent decades, the value placed on women versus their male counterparts is still consistently unbalanced. Knowing Your Value is an in-depth look at how women today achieve their deserved recognition and financial worth. Prompted by her own experience as co-host of Morning Joe, Mika interviewed a number of prominent women across a wide range of industries on their experience moving up in their fields. Mika reveals the obstacles these women, including such impresarios as White House star Valerie Jarrett, comedian Susie Essman, writer and director Nora Ephron, Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg, and broadcaster Joy Behar, navigated the inevitable roadblocks that are unique to women. Knowing Your Value blends these women's personal stories with the latest research and polling issues such as equal pay, women in the boardroom, and access to start-up capital, to create a highly relevant look into the worth of women in the workplace.

Mika Brzezinski is a co-host of Morning Joe, an MSNBC anchor and author of All Things at Once. She is also co-host of The Joe Scarborough Show on Citadel Media. She is the mother of two daughters, Emilie and Carlie, and has been married for fifteen years to an investigative journalist at ABC.
