Content Bookstore would like to extend an invitation to the RISE Professional Women's Group to an upcoming author talk!

Content welcomes economist Misty L. Heggeness for a reading and discussion of her book, SWIFTYNOMICS: HOW WOMEN MASTERMIND AND REDEFINE OUR ECONOMY. Please join us on Sunday, April 12 at 4 pm.

A feminist romp through pop culture that illuminates how women influence and shape the economy.

Taylor Swift isn't just a pop megastar. She is a working woman whose astounding accomplishments defy patriarchal norms. And while not all women can be Beyoncé or Dolly Parton or Reese Witherspoon, the successes of these trailblazing stars help us understand the central role of women in today's economy.

Swiftynomics assesses the complex economic lives of everyday American women through the stories of groundbreakers like Taylor Swift, Misty L. Heggeness digs into the data, revealing women's hidden contributions and aspirations—the unexamined value they create by pursuing their own ambitions. She highlights the abundance of productive activity in their daily lives and acknowledges the barriers they still face.

Exploring critical reforms regarding caregiving and gendered labor, this book offers advice for women to thrive in an economy that was not built for them.

Misty L. Heggeness is co-director of the Kansas Population Center, Associate Professor of Economics and Public Affairs at the University of Kansas, and former Principal Economist and Senior Advisor at the US Census Bureau. She is also the creator of The Care Board, a dashboard of economic statistics built by and for caregivers that brings their economic contributions into the fold.
