Winner of the 2019 Royal Society Science Book PrizeData 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 the
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.
