ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
In Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men, Caroline Criado Perez explores the pervasive gender data gap and its profound consequences for women. The book reveals how the world is designed around male norms and how this systematic exclusion of female experiences and perspectives has detrimental effects on women's lives in a variety of spheres. Criado Perez uses meticulous research and compelling anecdotes to illustrate how this bias manifests in everything from urban planning and transportation to healthcare and technology. The book argues that this invisibility of women in data leads to policies, products, and services that fail to meet women's needs and often put their health and safety at risk.
