内容简介
What if we could do the impossible and remove gender from the equation?
From imaginary numbers to the fourth dimension and beyond, mathematics has always been about imagining impossible things. In x+y, Eugenia Cheng draws on the insights of higher-dimensional mathematics to reveal a transformative new way of talking about the patriarchy, mansplaining and sexism: a way that empowers all of us to make the world a better place.
Using precise mathematical reasoning to uncover everything from the sexist assumptions that make society a harder place for women to live to the limitations of science and statistics in helping us understand the link between gender and society, Cheng"s analysis replaces confusion with clarity, brings original thinking to well worn arguments - and provides a radical, illuminating and liberating new way of thinking about the world and women"s place in it.
如果我们可以解决不可能的事情并消除性别平等，该怎么办？
从虚数到第四维，甚至更进一步，数学一直都是关于想象不可能的事情。在x + y中，Eugenia Cheng借助高等数学的见解，揭示了一种讨论父权制，男子气概和性别歧视的变革性新方式：一种使我们所有人都有能力使世界变得更美好的方式。
通过精确的数学推理来揭示一切，从使社会变得更加难以生存的性别歧视假设到帮助女性理解性别与社会之间联系的科学和统计数据的局限性，Cheng的分析以清晰的方式取代了混乱，将原始思想带入了陈旧的论点-并提供了一种激进的，启发性的和解放性的思考世界和妇女在其中的地位的新方式。
