**SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER** Discover the shocking gender bias that
affects our everyday lives 'A rallying cry to fight back' Sunday
Times 'Press this into the hands of everyone you know. It is
utterly brilliant!' Helena Kennedy Imagine a world where your phone
is too big for your hand, where your doctor prescribes a drug that
is wrong for your body, where in a car accident you are 47% more
likely to be seriously injured, where every week the countless
hours of work you do are not recognised or valued. If any of this
sounds familiar, chances are that you're a woman. Invisible Women
shows us how, in a world largely built for and by men, we are
systematically ignoring half the population. It exposes the gender
data gap - a gap in our knowledge that is at the root of perpetual,
systemic discrimination against women, and that has created a
pervasive but invisible bias with a profound effect on women's
lives. From government policy and medical research, to technology,
workplaces, urban planning and the media, Invisible Women reveals
the biased data that excludes women. Award-winning campaigner and
writer Caroline Criado Perez brings together for the first time an
impressive range of case studies, stories and new research from
across the world that illustrate the hidden ways in which women are
forgotten, and the impact this has on their health and well-being.
In making the case for change, this powerful and provocative book
will make you see the world anew. 'A brilliant expose' Guardian
