An urgent analysis of global gender inequality and a passionately argued case for change by a pioneer in the movement for women's economic empowerment.
'Passionate and timely . . . in a world where so many of us stick to criticising the status quo, it's heartening to read someone willing to offer viable solutions.'
CAROLINE CRIADO-PEREZ,
OBSERVER
(author of
Invisible Women)
'A compelling and actionable case for unleashing women's economic power.'
MELINDA GATES
The Cost of Sexism is an urgent analysis of global gender inequality and a fervently argued case for change by a pioneer in the movement for women's economic empowerment. Drawing on decades of statistical evidence, original research and global on-the-ground experience, Linda Scott outlines a revolutionary, actionable plan to remove economic barriers against women, and in the process combat humankind's most pressing problems.
'One of the most objective, data-led, rigorously scientific and morally persuasive books of the year.'
