When Françoise Brougher suedher former employer, Pinterest, in August for gender discrimination, retaliation, and wrongful termination, she had two goals. First, she says, she wanted the company to take responsibility for how she was treated in her two years as COO: excluded from important business decisions, paid less than her male peers, criticized along gendered lines, and eventually fired for raising concerns. Second, she wanted to be a voice for other women who face sexism at work but don't feel empowered to speak up. Her lawsuit came two months after two former Pinterest employees, who are Black women, went public with accusations of racial discrimination after leaving the company.
