Gabrielle Union, actress, activist, and New York Times bestselling author

“Provocative and uncompromising. The Double Tax presents a bold argument about how differences across race and gender color the human experience and why that matters for us all.”

Mikki Kendall, activist and New York Times bestselling author of Hood Feminism

“Effortlessly accessible and wildly entertaining. The Double Tax serves as an ultra-readable wake-up call and is required reading for anyone who wants to be a better citizen.”

Chelsea Fagan, founder of The Financial Diet

“A must read. While The Double Tax lays out the brutal costs women—especially women of color—pay just to exist, Opoku-Agyeman offers bold solutions for how we can fight for a future that leaves no one behind.”

Alyssa Milano, activist and actress

“I did not expect to laugh so hard and ache so deeply while reading this book. The Double Tax goes beyond collecting receipts and tabulating the buried costs that women face. It is a powerful reclamation of womanhood.”

Dr. Joy Buolamwini, founder of the Algorithmic Justice League and bestselling author of Unmasking AI

The Double Tax is the kind of book that stops you in your tracks. It confirms, provokes, and inspires. With scorching storytelling, sharp critique, and deep insight, Opoku-Agyeman voices a reality that’s both deeply personal and structurally fundamental.”

Dr. Uché Blackstock, New York Times bestselling author of Legacy

“This groundbreaking, timely, and crucial work shines a light on how persistent gender inequality is while offering bold solutions to address these injustices. Opoku-Agyeman’s insightful and compelling analysis is essential reading.”

Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action

The Double Tax powerfully documents how costly womanhood is in the United States while centering evidence that explores the cross section of race, gender, and class. An eye-opener and a rousing call to action!”
