#7 Taking Up Space, Ambitious Women, and Workplace Sexism with Tahmima Anam

Happy Friday, book lovers! We are so excited for you to join us in this episode to chat with decorated start up founder and author, Tahmima Anam! We were able to combine our two passions, books, and supporting female-owned businesses in this chat with this month's author. Tahmima has channelled her own observations and experiences of being a woman in the tech world, navigating sexism, misogyny, and racism, into her book, The Start Up Wife. Tahmima is a bubbly, funny, intelligent Bangladeshi born British writer who has spent much of her life in America, where she has had experience of the start up world, being a writer of a historical fiction trilogy series, and now penning contemporary fiction titles. The Start Up Wife is a witty, satorical insight into what it means to be a woman in a world and an environment built for men. We chose The Start Up Wife as our book of the month as it fully encapsulated our Main Character Moment theme; depicting a protagonist who is strong willed, complex, flawed, and ambitious, with a strong network of amazing women around her supporting her to take back ownership of the company she built, and pave the way for sisterhood, rebellion, and respect.
