Description
Marçal offers a groundbreaking book that exposes the ways in which gender bias stifles innovation and economic growth. She argues that women’s ideas are often dismissed or ignored, simply because they are women. This is due to a number of factors, including unconscious bias, lack of access to funding, and a culture that values male ingenuity over female creativity. Marçal also provides numerous examples of women’s inventions that have been ignored or marginalized, from the windshield wiper to the Kevlar vest. She also shows how gender bias can have a negative impact on the economy as a whole.
