Description
The development of the modern world depends on data, but much of the data we collect and analyze has been gathered without taking gender into account, meaning it fails to take men as a default and women as an atypical case. Because of this, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems, and women pay tremendous costs for this bias, in time, money, and often, when their lives are at stake. In Invisible Women , celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates the shocking root cause of gender inequality in staggering detail by diving into women's lives from childhood to motherhood to the workplace to being a public figure. 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 exposé that will change the way you look at the world.
