Invisible Women : Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men

Invisible women
Bok av Caroline Criado-Perez
**SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER** Discover the shocking gender bias that affects our everyday lives 'A rallying cry to fight back' Sunday Times 'Press this into the hands of everyone you know. It is utterly brilliant!' Helena Kennedy Imagine a world where your phone is too big for your hand, where your doctor prescribes a drug that is wrong for your body, where in a car accident you are 47% more likely to be seriously injured, where every week the countless hours of work you do are not recognised or valued. If any of this sounds familiar, chances are that you're a woman. Invisible Women shows us how, in a world largely built for and by men, we are systematically ignoring half the population. It exposes the gender data gap - a gap in our knowledge that is at the root of perpetual, systemic discrimination against women, and that has created a pervasive but invisible bias with a profound effect on women's lives. From government policy and medical research, to technology, workplaces, urban planning and the media, Invisible Women reveals the biased data that excludes women. Award-winning campaigner and writer 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 impact this has on their health and well-being. In making the case for change, this powerful and provocative book will make you see the world anew.

Väldigt intressant läsning som väcker många tankar. Samtidigt som det är intressant att läsa om denna brist på könsuppdelande data så väcker det också sorg och frustration. Boken kändes rätt mastig med all data och statistik och tog sin tid att ta sig igenom, men det var det värt. Oerhört viktig bok som ger nya perspektiv, alla borde läsa!
En oerhört välskriven och viktig bok som i kapitel efter kapitel uppmärksammar och diskuterar den oerhörda bristen på genusbaserad data, vad detta leder till och hur det i extremt stor grad påverkar kvinnors vardagliga liv världen över. Boken behandlar allt från snöröjning till mobiltelefoner och hur mycket den genuslösa datan försvårar för kvinnorna. En bok som alla, utan undantag borde läsa!
