How Women Conquer the Metaverse: The Next Social Revolution

Phylis West Johnson

This book explores how women are shaping the forthcoming Metaverse with a unique social perspective that promises to revolutionize society and will ultimately influence the future of humanity both economically and politically.

Phylis West Johnson and Tina Korani examine women in leadership across the top Metaverse companies, especially those with primarily female membership and content creators, noting that although women play a large role in fueling virtual platforms through content creation, their overall decision-making power appears limited in the larger Metaverse. The authors expound on women's social contributions to the development of the Metaverse, arguing that women in this position have fundamentally different conceptions from mainstream depictions of the Metaverse and foreground the potential to make change through content creation and social ideation over the potential to use it as a path to wealth.
