Three masquerades
Three masquerades by Marilyn Waring is a 1996 Science & Technology book written by TED speaker Marilyn Waring, paired here with the talk they gave.
In a world where half the population is likely to be excluded from international human rights guarantees, where unpaid work is given no economic value, where parliamentary process denies women a voice - in such a world truths masquerade as lies. Marilyn Waring writes, in these three essays, of the pretences that create and sustain inequality. Three Masquerades identifies some central myths that promote inequality, and explodes them with an accuracy that is at once devastating and humane.
