Data is fundamental
to the modern world. From economic development, to healthcare, to
education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources
and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take
into account gender, because it treats men as the default and women
as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. And
women pay tremendous costs for this bias, in time, money, and often
with their lives.
Celebrated feminist
advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates shocking root cause of
gender inequality and research in Invisible Women, diving into
women’s lives at home, the workplace, the public square, the
doctor’s office, and more. Built on hundreds of studies in the US,
the UK, and around the world, and written with energy, wit, and
sparkling intelligence, this is a groundbreaking, unforgettable
exposé that will change the way you look at the world.
