Caroline Criado Pérez
“PMS affects 90% of women, but is chronically under-studied: one research round-up found five times as many studies on erectile dysfunction than on PMS.”
Caroline Criado Pérez, Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men

Matthew Walker
“Practice does not make perfect. It is practice, followed by a night of sleep, that leads to perfection.”
Matthew Walker, Why We Sleep: The New Science of Sleep and Dreams

“The average female handspan is between seven and eight inches,2 which makes the standard forty-eight-inch keyboard something of a challenge. Octaves on a standard keyboard are 7.4 inches wide, and one study found that this keyboard disadvantages 87% of adult female pianists.3 Meanwhile, a 2015 study which compared the handspan of 473 adult pianists to their ‘level of acclaim’ found that all twelve of the pianists considered to be of international renown had spans of 8.8 inches or above.”
Caroline Criado Perez, Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men

Delia Owens
“Autumn leaves don't fall, they fly. They take their time and wander on this their only chance to soar.”
Delia Owens, Where the Crawdads Sing

Caroline Criado Pérez
“Men are more likely than women to be involved in a car crash, which means they dominate the numbers of those seriously injured in car accidents. But when a woman is involved in a car crash, she is 47% more likely to be seriously injured than a man, and 71% more likely to be moderately injured,46 even when researchers control for factors such as height, weight, seat-belt usage, and crash intensity.47 She is also 17% more likely to die.48 And it’s all to do with how the car is designed – and for whom.”
Caroline Criado Perez, Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men
