Data plays a crucial role in modern decision-making across various sectors, from economics to healthcare. However, much of this data fails to account for gender, treating men as the default and women as exceptions, leading to bias and discrimination. This bias costs women significantly in terms of time, money, and sometimes even their lives.
Winner of a Goodreads Choice Award, Caroline Criado Perez's Invisible Women explores this issue by examining how gender bias impacts women in different areas, such as the home, workplace, and healthcare. Drawing on extensive global research, this book is a compelling and eye-opening exposé that challenges how we view the world.
