Invisible Women
How Data Bias Creates a World Built Around Men
About This Book
Caroline Criado Perez's Invisible Women (2019) examines the pervasive "gender data gap" where global data collection predominantly centers on male bodies and behaviors. This systematic oversight produces systems, products, and policies that serve men while frequently harming women. Perez demonstrates how everything from medical research and artificial intelligence to smartphone dimensions reflects data sets that exclude women's requirements. The book investigates the wide-ranging issues this gap creates and proposes solutions for correcting these oversights.
