Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men

Caroline Criado Perez shows how much of the data used to design our world is based on men, leaving women overlooked. She gives examples from medicine, car safety, urban planning, workplace design, technology and disaster relief, where the lack of data on women leads to products and policies that serve them poorly or put them at risk. The book argues that closing the gender data gap is essential to a fairer world.

Shane Parrish: “Perez examines how male bias often unintentionally creeps into the studies, systems, and algorithms used to collect data.”
