Attack of the 50 Ft. Women: How Gender Equality Can Save The World! Catherine Mayer

`Buy it for yourself, your husband or partner. Most importantly, buy it for your children' Sunday Express

Essential reading from Catherine Mayer, recently named one of the Top 100 Most Influential People in Global Policy on Gender Equality.

Cometh the hour, Cometh the women.

In this inspirational book, the co-founder of the Women's Equality Party sets out compelling evidence for the social and economic benefits of gender equality and lays bare the mechanisms holding women back.

Everywhere women are, at best, second-class citizens. Progress towards equality hasn't only stalled; in many places, it is reversing.

Things needn't be this way. Join the author on a journey to Equalia, the gender-equal future that could be ours.

In this new and fully updated edition Catherine Mayer reports from the frontline of 2017, a tumultuous year that saw women's rights and protections rolled back and the global tally of female leaders fall, but galvanised feminism. It was also a tumultuous year for the author herself, who for the first time writes in detail about her sex and age discrimination suit against her former employer, TIME, and how her battle for justice, like #MeToo, demonstrated the extraordinary power of women sharing stories.

JOIN THE REVOLUTION.

Attack of the 50 Ft. Women Bewertungen

"Comprehensive, wide-ranging and journalistically rigorous. Attack of the 50Ft Women is an important and timely book. Buy it for yourself, your husband or partner. Most importantly, buy it for your children" Sunday Express

`If you're male, and don't think you need to read this book, that's your received culture talking, and it isn't doing you a favour. If you're male or female, do yourself and the future a favour: read this book.' William Gibson

"Barnstorming" Red magazine

"An inspiring, revelatory and often hilarious journey to explore the merits of a gender-equal society" Glamour

"Compelling and deeply researched... Presents the multiple benefits of a gender-balanced world" Lisa Randall, New York Times bestselling author of Warped Passages

"[Catherine Mayer] occupies a well-informed, fully-engaged middle ground [and] quickly gets to the main issue- endemic exploitation, "discrimination, harassment and sexual violence" perpetrated by men and boys against (overwhelmingly)
women and girls [...] provid[ing] concise, painful examples of perpetrators' seeming impunity even when charged for their crimes. [Attack of the Fifty Foot Women] is a weapons store for the battles ahead." Times Literary Supplement

`A tour de force of feminist polemic, forensic research drawing on data from across the globe and some fabulously funny anecdotes' Wales Online
