From author and co-founder of the Women’s Equality Party, Catherine Mayer, comes a deep and accessible investigation into the global reality of gender inequality—and a blueprint for fixing it. And she'll be speaking to fans at Reading Waterstones tonight.
Catherine Mayer is a bestselling author, award-winning journalist, former TIME editor and the co-founder of the Women’s Equality Party, which in less than two years has become a significant electoral force with 73 branches and 65,000 members and registered supporters.
Published on International Women’s Day, Attack of the Fifty Foot Women, is an analytical tour of the world and its gender inequalities, is by turns enraging and hilarious and always inspiring. Catherine Mayer not only lays bare the present, including the USA in the age of Donald Trump, Saudi Arabia, Iceland and China, business culture and religion, Silicon Valley and Hollywood, but takes us to a possible future, a gender-equal world she calls Equalia.
Catherine will be at Waterstones from 7.30pm for a talk and Q & A session.
