Invisible Women: Why We Live in a World Designed for Men. Data Bias in a World Designed for Men

Imagine a world where a doctor, unknowingly, prescribes a medication that is harmful to you; where your chances of suffering serious injuries in a car accident are 47% higher than those of the other half of humanity; where your household labor goes unnoticed and unappreciated after a long workday. Does this sound familiar? Then you are most likely a woman.
Caroline Criado Perez uncovers a serious issue in her book that directly impacts the health and well-being of women: developers of various products and technologies rely on data collected about humans, where 'human' by default is 'male'. Women, with their differences and needs, remain invisible. The author sidesteps deep debates about the nature of modern feminism but presents undeniable facts about the gender data gap in various fields—from politics and medical research to technology, labor relations, urban planning, and media.
This brilliant book, which has received numerous prestigious awards, proves the necessity for change and compels us to rethink the structure of our world.
