Invisible Women by Caroline Criado-Perez
Submitted by: Ti Chang
Winner of the 2019 Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award
Winner of the 2019 Royal Society Science Book Prize
Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development, to healthcare, to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take into account gender, because it treats men as the default and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. And women pay tremendous costs for this bias, in time, money, and often with their lives.
Celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates the shocking root cause of gender inequality and research in Invisible Women?, diving into women’s lives at home, the workplace, the public square, the doctor’s office, and more. This is a groundbreaking, unforgettable exposé that will change the way you look at the world.Winner of the 2019 Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award

Milton Brook Mortar & Pestle
Submitted by: Liz ZarroThe definitive British-designed mortar and pestle set, Milton Brook has produced these kitchen essentials for more than 100 years. Constructed of fully vitrified porcelain that is achieved by using controlled kiln firing to first close and then eliminate the microscopic pores of the clay. The result is a very dense, strong structure which absorbs no flavors, odors or stains, allowing you to crush various ingredients without the transfer of flavors from one ingredient to another. In fact, they are so resistant to any residue contamination; they are used in the pharmaceutical industry. The pestles are made with a traditional beech wood handle, left unfinished for a non-slip grip. Design Origin- England
