Description
X+y: A Mathematician's Manifesto for Rethinking Gender by Eugenia Cheng
Mathematics has long been about imagining impossible concepts, and in x+y, Eugenia Cheng applies this creative approach to challenge our understanding of the patriarchy and sexism.
Through precise mathematical reasoning, Cheng reveals new insights into the sexist assumptions that shape society and provides a radical, illuminating way of thinking about the world and women's place in it.
