Abstract

Why did it take us 5,000 years to attach wheels to a suitcase?How did bras take us to the moon?And what would the world be like if we listened to women?Bestselling 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 menBut it doesn’t have to be this way. From the beginning of time, women have been pivotal to our society, offering ingenious solutions to some of our most vexing problems. More recently, it is women who have transformed the way we shop online, revolutionised the lives of disabled people and put the climate crisis at the top of the agenda.Despite these successes, we still fail to find and fund the game-changing ideas that could alter the future of our planet, giving just 3% of venture capital to female founders. Instead, ingrained ideas about men and women continue to shape our economic decisions; favouring men and leading us to the same tired set of solutions.For too long we have underestimated the consequences of sexism in our economy, and the way it holds all of us – women and men – back. Katrine Marcal’s blistering critique sets the record straight and shows how, in a time of crisis, the ingenuity and intelligence of women is that very thing that can save us. (Provided by publisher)

Abstract

Dit werk analyseert de interrelatie tussen gender en technologie, of hoe gender-terminologie is verwerkt in de technologie en hoe technologie invloed uitoefent op de gender-notie. Hierbij wordt de verhouding tussen zin en afschuw voor technologie behandeld, en de ambivalente houding van met name vrouwen tegenover machines.

Abstract

De verschillende teksten uit 'Gender and the built environment' zijn geschreven vanuit een 'gender aware approach', met de bedoeling een maatschappij te creëren die ook in geogrefische zin de gelijkheid, maar vooral ook de gelijkwaardigheid van mannen en vrouwen ondersteunt en erkent en hun onafhankelijkheid stimuleert. Vanuit deze visie worden wonen, werken, veiligheid, faciliteiten allerhande, sociale voorzieningen en openbaar vervoer in diverse Europese landen, aan een kritische analyse onderworpen. Twaalf experten uit evenzoveel Europese landen presenteren hun analyse en persoonlijke strategie ter bevordering van mogelijke druk en invloed die vrouwen respectievelijk kunnen uitoefenen en hebben, zowel bij lokale instanties als op Europees niveau.
