Story
When she suffered a seizure that saw her hospitalised with a cracked skull and facial injuries, Robyn Lawley started to reassess her future. Australia’s leading plus-size model had always called out body-diversity blind spots, but now wondered whether she could continue working in an industry with such a rigid view of beauty.

Story
Why are men in charge? After years in the male-dominated field of mathematics and in the female-dominated field of art, Eugenia Cheng has heard the question many times. In x + y, Cheng argues that her mathematical specialty - category theory - reveals why. Category theory deals more with context, relationships, and nuanced versions of equality than with intrinsic characteristics. Category theory also emphasizes dimensionality: much as a cube can cast a square or diamond shadow, depending on your perspective, so too do gender politics appear to change with how we examine them.

Such a great listen! The books is extremely well organized and thought out. The narrator does an excellent job in the reading. Cheng uses concrete language and examples, to explain her very sound argument. She actually introduces new language and a road map forward to the create tangible change in the realm of gendered thinking and the way society values certain characteristics supposedly based on gender. She coherently presents groundbreaking ideas for how to bring about real shifts in society at large that would be of benefit to all, Male, Female, Trans. She does not waste any time in the weeds of this difficult subject but cuts right to the heart of gender and identity. Make the world a better place, read this book!!
