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.
