Invisible Women is a groundbreaking nonfiction book that reveals how a lack of gender-disaggregated data leads to systemic bias against women in everyday life. Caroline Criado Perez explores how systems, policies, and technologies are often designed using data that primarily represents men, resulting in unequal outcomes for women.
The book presents extensive research and real-world examples showing how this “gender data gap” affects areas such as healthcare, workplace policies, transportation, urban planning, and product design. It highlights how ignoring women’s experiences can lead to unsafe, inefficient, or unfair systems.
Through compelling case studies and data-driven analysis, the author demonstrates the hidden ways gender bias shapes society. She also argues for better data collection practices and more inclusive decision-making to create fairer systems for everyone.
Invisible Women is widely regarded in gender studies, economics, and policy literature. It is ideal for readers interested in equality, social justice, and data-driven policy, offering a powerful insight into how invisible biases shape the modern world.
