Story
Katrine Marçal’s Mother of Invention is a fascinating examination of business, technology, and innovation through a feminist lens. Marçal takes us on a tour of the global economy, arguing that gendered assumptions dictate which businesses get funding, how we value work, and how we trace human progress. And it carries a powerful message: If we upend our biases, we can unleash our full potential, tackling climate change and wielding technology to become more human, rather than less.

Story
How do you get your dinner? That is the basic question of economics. When economist and philosopher Adam Smith proclaimed that all our actions were motivated by self-interest, he used the example of the baker and the butcher as he laid the foundations for the “economic man”. He argued that the baker and butcher didn't give bread and meat out of the goodness of their hearts. It's an ironic point of view coming from a bachelor who lived with his mother for most of his life - a woman who cooked his dinner every night.

Story
Best-selling author Katrine Marçal reveals the shocking ways our deeply ingrained ideas about gender continue to hold us back. Every day, extraordinary inventions and innovative ideas are side-lined in a world that remains subservient to men.

I loved the connection between innovations made by women and mother Nature.

Story
Considerado o Freaknomics feminista, este livro questiona o modelo masculino do pensamento econômico. Nele, a jornalista econômica Katrine Marçal explica como as bases teóricas da economia ignoram a mulher, cujo papel era prover o lar. Séculos depois, essa mesma lógica continua excluindo a mulher, que precisa fazer jornada dupla ao gerir carreira e família.

Story
The wheel was invented some 5,000 years ago, and the modern suitcase in the mid-nineteenth century, but it wasn’t until the 1970s that someone successfully married the two. What was the hold up? For writer and journalist Katrine Marçal, the answer is both shocking and simple: because "real men" carried their bags, no matter how heavy. There were rolling suitcases before the '70s, but they were marketed as a niche product for (the presumably few) women travelling alone, and the wheeled suitcase wasn't "invented" until it was no longer threatening to masculinity.

Story
Warum kam man erst im späten 20. Jahrhundert auf die Idee, Räder unter Reisekoffer zu montieren - obwohl es das Rad schon seit fünftausend Jahren gibt? Wären wir womöglich nie auf den Mond gelangt ohne das Wissen amerikanischer Näherinnen? Und wie sähe eigentlich eine Welt aus, in der Frauen genauso viel Gehör finden wie Männer? Die schwedische Bestsellerautorin Katrine Marçal zeigt mit viel Verve, was die Menschheit über die Jahrhunderte verloren (oder erst viel später erfunden) hat, weil eine Hälfte von ihr - die Frauen - nicht mitreden, mitbestimmen, miterfinden durfte.
