Mother of Invention: How Good Ideas Get Ignored in an Economy Built for Men

Mother of Invention: How Good Ideas Get Ignored in an Economy Built for Men by Katrine Marçal ©2021, Abrams Press An illuminating and maddening examination of how gender bias has skewed innovation, technology, and history. Mother of Invention is a fascinating and eye-opening examination of business, technology, and innovation through a feminist lens... Drawing on examples from electric cars to bra seamstresses to tech billionaires, Marçal shows how gender bias stifles the economy and holds us back, delaying innovations, sometimes by hundreds of years, and distorting our understanding of our history... This is a sweeping tour of the global economy with a powerful message: if we upend our biases, we can unleash our full potential. MSRP $26 US Like New condition. Book is essentially New, unread.
