Linda Scott highlights the often overlooked contributions of women to the global economy, making a compelling case for harnessing their economic power. As a leading thinker in the women's economic empowerment movement, Scott has been instrumental in addressing gender inequality, which is a significant global issue that hinders economic growth and exacerbates crises like poverty and human trafficking. In her work, she introduces the concept of the "Double X Economy," which reflects the systematic exclusion of women from economic participation, resulting in a distinct economic practice shaped by historical exclusions. Despite these challenges, Scott argues that when empowered, women contribute to a more careful, cooperative, and long-term focused economy compared to the current dominant model. By building on the momentum of global female empowerment movements, she offers a fresh perspective on women's rights rooted in economic liberty. Her study not only assesses the historical subjugation of women but also illustrates how this has led to persistent global problems. Ultimately, Scott calls for action to ensure women achieve equal footing with men, paving the way for a more equitable and prosperous world.
