(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"We live in a society that prioritizes men's convenience over women's suffering. Nowhere is this more evident in the female technology industry. In 2020, the total value of investment in the digital health industry was $14.1 billion. Female-focused digital health companies received just 1.8% of that funding. Women continue to get short-changed when it comes to their health and sexual wellness because venture capitalists are predominantly male. And these male investors often either fail to believe a product designed and marketed toward people with vaginas is necessary, or they otherwise find it "icky" in some way. THE VAGINA BUSINESS dives deep to expose the inherent sexism in finance, tech, and medicine, with first-hand accounts from the women who have overcome these challenges to create the new and necessary industry that is femtech. Thoroughly reported based off interviews with 100 entrepreneurs and innovators in the femtech space by an award-winning journalist, writer, and professor, THE VAGINA BUSINESS demonstrates the connections between the obstacles female entrepreneurs face in the board room, and the unnecessary pain and suffering women deal with everywhere else-as well as how we can overcome it"-- Provided by publisher.
