She also uncovers how huddling can be the “secret sauce” that makes many things possible for women: success in the workplace, effective grassroots change, confidence in girlhood, and a better physical and mental health profile in adulthood. Along the way, Baldwin takes readers through her own personal journey of growing up in the South and climbing the ladder of a male-dominated industry. Like so many women in her field, she encountered many sharp elbows on her career path, but became an early believer in adding more seats to the table and huddling with other women for strength and solidarity. In the process of writing HUDDLE, Baldwin learns that this seemingly new phenomenon is actually something women have been doing for generations—a quiet, collective power she learns to unlock in her transformation from journalist to champion for women. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49343969296688,"sku":"BDdya1","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49343969329456,"sku":"ZEdya1","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49343969362224,"sku":"ZMdya1","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/dya1-Square-cover.jpg?v=1778405831","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-dya1","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
