Summary:
Not a single country anywhere in the world has achieved gender
equality
. In more than a few countries, progress for women has stalled or is reversing. Voters in the United States chose a misogynist over a female candidate for President. 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 British pounds 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 aren't we embracing it? Fewer than nine percent of world leaders are female, but the few women who have broken through include towering figures such as Angela Merkel. Journalist and author Catherine Mayer accidentally founded the Women's
Equality
Party in March 2015, watching it grow in months from an idea to a vibrant
political
force with more than 70 branches across the UK. She shares inside views and experiences from building a party, and bringing together global research with analyses and interviews based on her own far-flung research. Campaigning for the Women's
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? What's the sex like? What's on the telly? Some fascinating answers, brilliant thought experiments and a blueprint for reaching Equalia.
