An urgent analysis of global gender inequality and a passionately argued case for change by a pioneer in the movement for womens economic empowerment.

A compelling and actionable case for unleashing womens economic power Melinda Gates

Womens economic development expert Linda Scott coined the paradigm-shifting concept of the double X economy to describe both the shocking gender inequalities that are built into our global economy, and the collective power of women that could be harnessed to combat those inequalities.

Drawing on a wealth of sources including radical original research and vivid case studies, Scott reveals how economic subordination and exclusion are systemic for women in the developing and the developed worlds; and shows that by pulling women in as equal participants in the economy, we could address many of humankinds most pressing problems.

Provocative, accessible and potentially game-changing, The Double X Economy is the feminist answer to Jeffrey Sachs The End of Poverty: both a work of expert analysis and an urgent call to action.
