Woman walking on the frozen St. Louis River, 1905

Does your office feel like you’re stranded on an iceberg? Why do we need to wear coats at our desks when it’s 100 F outside? Why are men complaining how hot is is when we’re we have a space heater running all day? And WHY are penguins flocking to our break room? On today’s episode of Every Woman, we will be speaking with Una Nowling, a licensed engineer who will be discussing the subject of why many women are so cold in offices and public buildings year round – and most chillingly, is there proof that temperature discrimination in the office can hurt women’s performance at our jobs?

Tune in and call in to ask the expert questions on the research she has done to highlight gender inequity in temperature, and how it is impacting the entire planet! That’s at 3pm Central Time, on 90.1 FM, streaming on kkfi.org or various apps on your phones!
