Invisible Women

Picture a reality where your smartphone is unwieldy due to its large size, where medical prescriptions don't align with your biological needs, or where your risk of severe injury in a car crash is significantly higher at 47%. If these scenarios strike a chord, it might be because you're a woman. "Invisible Women" sheds light on a critical issue: in a world dominated by male-centric design and decision-making, the other half of the population is consistently overlooked. This book delves into the gender data gap, highlighting a lack of crucial information that fuels ongoing discrimination against women, shaping biases that subtly yet profoundly impact their everyday experiences. From public policies and healthcare studies to tech innovations, workplace dynamics, urban development, and media representation, "Invisible Women" uncovers the skewed data narrative that marginalizes women. Award-winning author and advocate Caroline Criado Perez compiles an extensive array of case studies, anecdotes, and groundbreaking research worldwide, revealing the nuanced ways women are disregarded and the resulting effects on their health and daily lives. Advocating for transformative change, this compelling and challenging book encourages readers to re-evaluate their perceptions of the world.
