Sarah Kaplan's forthcoming book explores how product design, innovation and economic systems often exclude women and marginalized groups, and argues for inclusive approaches that center diverse needs.
Drawing on research from gender and innovation studies, the book highlights examples where neglect of female bodies and caregiving has produced harmful or less effective products.
Kaplan proposes changes to how organizations innovate, advocating systemic shifts rather than individual fixes to produce equitable products and services.
The work connects gender, the economy, and design practice to show how inclusive innovation improves outcomes for everyone.
It aims to provide both analysis and practical guidance for makers, policymakers, and business leaders seeking more equitable product development.
