Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men - Thryft
Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men - Thryft

Exposing hidden data bias against women's world.

"Invisible Women" casts a stark light on something that quietly but profoundly affects half the population — gender bias in data. If you've ever felt like the world wasn't designed with women in mind, from the size of your smartphone to the temperature of your office, this book doesn't just validate those frustrations, it provides the hard numbers behind them. Provocative and meticulously researched, it's a compelling read for anyone who cares about building a more equitable society.

Description

Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development, to healthcare, to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take into account gender, because it treats men as the default and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. And women pay tremendous costs for this bias, in time, money, and often with their lives. Celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates the shocking root cause of gender inequality and research in Invisible Women, diving into women’s lives at home, the workplace, the public square, the doctor’s office, and more. Built on hundreds of studies in the US, the UK, and around the world, and written with energy, wit, and sparkling intelligence, this is a groundbreaking, unforgettable exposé that will change the way you look at the world.
