'Invisible Women takes on the neglected topic of what we don't know
- and why. The result is a powerful, important and eye-opening
analysis of the gender politics of knowledge and ignorance. With
examples from technology to natural disasters, this is an original
and timely reminder of why we need women in the leadership of the
institutions that shape every aspect of our lives.' Cordelia Fine
You've heard all about the Gender Pay Gap... Welcome to the Gender
Data Gap Our world is largely built for and by men, in a system
that can ignore half the population. This book will tell you how
and why this matters In her new book, Invisible Women,
award-winning campaigner and writer Caroline Criado Perez shows us
how, in a world largely built for and by men, we are systematically
ignoring half the population. She 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. Caroline
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 excluded from the
very building blocks of the world we live in, and the impact this
has on their health and wellbeing. From government policy and
medical research, to technology, workplaces, urban planning and the
media - Invisible Women exposes the biased data that excludes
women. In making the case for change, this powerful and provocative
book will make you see the world anew.
