Invisible Women

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. 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. From government policy and medical research, to technology, workplaces, urban planning and the media, Invisible Women reveals the biased data that excludes women. In making the case for change, this powerful and provocative book will make you see the world anew. 卡罗琳·克里亚多·佩雷斯（Caroline Criado Perez） 英国作家、记者。 曾就读于牛津大学（英语语言和文学专业学士）、伦敦政治经济学院（性别研究专业硕士），作品常见于《卫报》《泰晤士报》《金融时报》《新政治家》等知名媒体。2015年出版女性群像传记《像女人一般》（Do It Like a Woman），入选多家媒体年度好书榜单；2019年出版《看不见的女性》，《Invisible Women》被翻译成30种语言，获得英国书店奖最受读者欢迎好书、英国皇家学会科学图书奖、《金融时报》及麦肯锡商业图书奖等重要奖项。 写作之外，卡罗琳·克里亚多·佩雷斯积极推动男女平等和社会正义，她成功阻止了英国银行移除英镑纸钞上除英国女王之外的唯一女性肖像；在雕像全为男性的英国议会广场上为妇女参政论者竖立雕像，以纪念英国女性在1918年获得选举权；促使推特更改关于网络暴力和威胁的处理程序...
