Imagine a world where...
· Your phone is too big for your hand
· Your doctor prescribes a drug that is wrong for your body
· In a car accident you are 47% more likely to be injured.

If any of that sounds familiar, chances are you're a woman.

From government policy and medical research, to technology, workplaces, and the media. Invisible Women reveals how in a world built for and by men we are systematically ignoring half of the population, often with disastrous consequences. 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 profound impact this has on us all.

Discover the shocking gender bias that affects our everyday lives.

Kritikerstimmen

Revelatory – it should be required reading for policy and decision makers everywhere (Nicola Sturgeon)
HELL YES. This is one of those books that has the potential to change things – a monumental piece of research (Caitlin Moran)
Revelatory, frightening, hopeful. A secular Bible (Jeanette Winterson)
This book is a devastating indictment of institutionalised complacency and a rallying cry to fight back… Invisible Women should propel women into action. It should also be compulsory reading for men (Christina Patterson)
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)
Invisible Women is a game-changer; an uncompromising blitz of facts, sad, mad, bad and funny, making an unanswerable case and doing so brilliantly…the ambition and scope – and sheer originality – of Invisible Women is huge; no less than the story of what happens when we forget to account for half of humanity. It should be on every policymaker, politician and manager’s shelves (Melanie Reid)
Hugely readable, packed with facts and insight. An important book written with humour and flair (Robert Webb)
Here are the facts! Caroline Criado Perez shines her penetrating gaze on the absence of women from the creation of most societal norms – from algorithms to medicinal doses to government policy. Knowledge is power – we all need to know how our systems work if we want change. Arm yourself with this book and press it into the hands of everyone you know. It is utterly brilliant! (Helena Kennedy)
A blisteringly good book... never less than eye-opening, and frequently staggering
It’s a smart strategy to invite readers to view [a] timeworn topic through the revealing lens of data, bringing to light the hidden places where inequality still resides... Criado Perez wields data like a laser, slicing cleanly through the fog of unconscious and unthinking preferences.

Amazing how in a data driven world there is still so little data on women.

Important book on the gender data gap

This book sheds a light on critical issues we all should be aware of. I will recommend it to other male managers like me
It is unfortunate that the book mixes facts and critical issues, with biased view, stereotypes, personal experiences and emotionalized stories. At times it is really hard to listen to the book as some statements are just wrong. This highly confrontational writing style is just unnecessary and does not help the cause.

Crucial Topics - but too confrontational

If you ever asked for evidence of discrimination against women and wondered why we need feminism - here is your answer... or rather here you have plenty of evidence from around the world!!! Just read it.

Why we should all be feminists

Whether you’re a woman or not, these insights are vital. They open minds, helping people to better understand the world as it affects women, and all the many things we all miss out on while constantly gaze through the lens of the male default. And women do this, too.

Policy makers, writers, translators, planners, architects, CEOs, human resources staff, developers, programmers, health practitioners, health researchers... I don’t think I can think of a profession that would not benefit from these insights.

Men - don’t just say you care about women, listen to what informed women like Ms Criado Perez have to say.

A must read for ALL genders

This is one of the most enraging, powerful books I've read in a long time. This close look at the data cannot fail to make you or anyone a feminist

Important, enraging, necessary book
