A leading thinker's groundbreaking examination of women's economic empowerment
"Linda Scott makes a strong evidence-based case — interspersed with compelling real life examples from around the globe — for women’s economic empowerment. If we want to grow economies and inclusive prosperity long into the future, there is a solution staring us in the face: unleash the power of women’s full economic participation."
- Melanne Verveer, First U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues and Executive Director, Georgetown Institute for Women, Pece, and Security, Georgetown University
"THE DOUBLE X ECONOMY is a thought-provoking,
data-rich argument for what society and world
economies sacrifice by excluding women.
This is a crucial book on a crucial subject."
- Dr. Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, Under-Secretary-General, Executive Director of UN Women
"Linda Scott provides powerful evidence on the need for action to end women’s economic exclusion and to positively reshape the economies of the world."
- Michael Kaufman, author of The Time Has Come: Why Men Must Join the Gender Revolution
