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.

An eye opener
I loved this book and didn’t want it to end. Caroline is an excellent narrator. The entire book is full of stories about the gender data gap that make you wonder how this can possibly still happen in a world so many people think is now “equal”. I can’t wait to continue sharing the shocking facts with my non-feminist friends, who have started to realize that no, I’m REALLY not making this stuff up.

Both incensed and inspired!
Caroline speaks so passionately. With every chapter I'm both motivated and challenged to question my default predispositions and naivety. Caroline has illustrated the loss society experiences when we don't critically listen to or account for ALL peoples well-being. A must read for those who want a better, more efficient society.

Frustrating and Brilliant.
Fantastic read.
Strongly recommend to anyone regardless of gender, you’ll get something out of it.
Personally I found it a great book to listen to at the gym in particular, not so much before bed.

Excellent, finally data for what we all already sensed
Powerfully written and beautifully read book that undeniably collates the data avaialane on many aspects of the world we experience around us. Women/womyn are not crazy for being bothered by the systems and structures and micro aggressions and macro aggressions we face each day. There’s data - and in many cases, an appalling lack of data, that show these systems for what they are: unjust and ripe for change. Thanks CCP!!

Eye-opening and surprisingly relevant
I was very surprised by the relevance of the data gap, there is so much we just take in our stride as women I've never quite thought could be different. We really are taught to accept that life is just harder for us and to never question how we as a society can make it better, the idea is that no one will listen to that, it isn't a priority. Its great to see this type of research is happening now and the conversation is spreading.
