Discover the shocking gender bias that affects our
        everyday lives
      
 'A game-changer; an uncompromising blitz of facts, sad,
      mad, bad and funny, making an unanswerable case and doing so
      brilliantly… the ambition and scope – and sheer
      originality – of 
      Invisible Women is huge' 
      The Times
 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.
