Mother of Invention: How Good Ideas Get Ignored in an Economy Built for Men Taschenbuch – 24. Juni 2021

WATERSTONES BEST POLITICAL BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2021
LONGLISTED FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL
‘I am absurdly excited for this book’ Caroline Criado Perez
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 men
But 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.

Pressestimmen
Praise for Mother of Invention
‘A book with a radical agenda … Marçal wants nothing less than a revolution in the way we think about ourselves.’ The Times
‘A smart, witty and fascinating warning from history. I loved this book.’ CAROLINE CRIADO PEREZ, Bestselling Author of Invisible Women
‘wry and witty … it’s high time to put the needs of all people and the planet at the heart of invention.’ KATE RAWORTH, author of Doughnut Economics
‘This is an absolute must-read. Equal parts informative and infuriating.’ DR FERN RIDDELL, author of Sex: Lessons from History
‘From wheeled suitcases to witch trials, Katrine Marçal makes you look again at history in this funny, clever and provocative book’ HELEN LEWIS, author of Difficult Women: A History of Feminism in 11 Fights
‘…Infuriating, but always thought-provoking and intriguing. A clearly-needed wake-up call to future innovators not to view the world through a narrowly gendered lens but to pay attention to the skills and lived experiences of all. ‘
PROFESSOR GINA RIPPON – bestselling author of The Gendered Brain
‘Mother of Invention had me nodding along in emphatic agreement. To tackle the substantial problems ahead, we cannot afford to innovate with ‘one hand tied behind our backs.’ IRISH TIMES
[Katrine] brilliantly proves how male-driven technology over the ages has limited full human development by neglecting a liberating female narrative and perspective.’ JAN ELIASSON, Former Deputy Secretary-General of the UN
‘This second book by the author of Who Cooked Adam Smith’s Dinner? is both bracing and highly entertaining. Marcal’s contention is that while women have been coming up with ingenious inventions since the beginning of time, they are routinely sidelined in a world geared to men.’ THE BOOKSELLER

- Bewertet in Deutschland am 18. Januar 2025Please everyone read this. It’s the best book I have read so far, in that category. Must read!!
- Bewertet in Deutschland am 19. Juni 2022Es hat mich sehr inspiriert an meine Ideen (egal wie verrückt) zu glauben.
- Bewertet in Deutschland am 16. August 2022I borrowed this book from a privatelibrary. All in all it is an easy read with stories surrounding women in invention history, it some times feel a bit scattered or as if writer has a hard time to atick to one story but I think there is simply too much to tell.
I just finished chapter 3 and cannot stop to wonder if the gap between seamstresses and NASA documentation requirements would close faster and more efficient if ILC could hire female engineers not to assume female engineers have nessecarily knowledge in sewing too but basically because many female in tech I know have some basic sewing knowledge while men are not interestedeven in basics!
- Bewertet in Deutschland am 11. Juli 2022Excellent, easy-to-read book, with lots of fascinating true stories - good and bad - about how it is that women are and have been disadvantaged in our economy for centuries. Quite extraordinary really - and sad. But understanding the reasons are the first step to changing things and the author does a great job at showing us what needs to be changed to make a difference.

2,0 von 5 Sternen Disappointed in narration
This book could have been a much shorter essay. Instead the author just went on and on, without proper coherent narration. Randomly talking about several things in a hodge podge in the same chapter. Author moves from topic to topic with sudden jerks - no story line context. Many times there were just strong opinions without any insights. It's like, if someone read a lot of news, articles and essays - and then one day they thought they could summarize all of that in single piece. But it came out very badly written, bad edited and simply disappointing. This looks like a first draft of an authors attempt to summarize variety of stuff. But not a finished product.
