Publishers Description: Yet in many of these countries, the majority of politicians and business leaders profess to believe in gender equality as well they might. One report predicts a boost to global GDP of £8.3 trillion by 2025 simply by making faster progress towards narrowing the gender gap. Researchers point to many other potential benefits too, not least in improved relations between the sexes and a healthier, more peaceful planet. If gender equality promises benefits not just to women, but to everyone, why arent we embracing it And how can we speed the pace of change Fewer than nine percent of world leaders are female, but the few women who have broken through include towering figures such as Angela Merkel. Could 50-foot women save the day These questions have gripped journalist and author Catherine Mayer since she accidentally founded the Womens Equality Party in March 2015 and watched it grow in months from an idea to a vibrant political force with more than 70 branches across the UK. In Attack Of The Fifty Foot Women, her insightful, revelatory, often hilarious, and hugely inspiring book, she tackles those questions and many more, sharing inside views and experiences from building a party, and bringing together global research with analyses and interviews based on her own far-flung research. And she goes further. Campaigning for the Womens Equality Party ahead of elections in May 2016, she noticed that many people found it hard, in the absence of any real-life examples, to envisage a gender-equal world. So she takes us there, to the place she calls Equalia. What is it like Does gender equality make for a society that is more equal in other ways too Who does the low-paid jobs How does gender express itself in a place freed from gender programming Whats the sex like Whats on the tellyFor some fascinating answers and brilliant thought experiments and a blueprint for reaching Equalia read Attack Of The Fifty Foot Women
