Details

What do toilets at cinemas, smartphones and pavements have in common?

The readers of 📕Invisible women📕 know the answer very well 😎 so we also want to find it out.

📚 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.

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 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 reveals the biased data that excludes women. In making the case for change, this powerful and provocative book will make you see the world anew.

🗂️ Join us for a chat:

  • if you know it all
  • if you think this bias is not a big deal
  • if things are even worse than 5 years ago when the book was published
  • or, on the contrary, the change has come
  • and if you enjoy company of other readers🗂️
