Privatisation and patriarchy are concentrating wealth and power among a broligarchy of entrepreneurs looking to the stars to manifest their earthly destiny.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eElise Stephenson led world-first research into gender in the space sector across more than 80 countries. In \u003cem\u003eSpace XX\u003c\/em\u003e, she talks to almost 1000 pioneering women, men, trans, and non-binary people – from astronauts to engineers to ethicists – from Australia’s first female astronaut to its Space Agent One, from the US Space Force to NASA – uncovering a story of inequality, exclusion, and denigration of women in STEM. She also charts a better way forward: practical, evidence-based ideas for a world that allows all humanity to flourish, informed by First Nations, feminist, and futures thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBack in the 1960s, the Moon landing became ‘one small step for man’. More than 60 years on, humanity is preparing to go back – and farther than ever before. What part will women play? Compelling and urgent, \u003cem\u003eSpace XX\u003c\/em\u003e exposes the stakes of our extraterrestrial trajectory and argues that a more inclusive future can – and must – be fought for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67712145916140,"sku":"9781923451384","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781923451384-space-xx-1.jpg?v=1791850056","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/space-xx-by-dr-elise-stephenson-9781923451384","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
