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

What it is about

Caroline Criado Perez assembles evidence showing how the male body and male life pattern have often been treated as the default in transport, medicine, work, technology, disaster response, and public policy. The book’s force comes from connecting apparently small omissions to repeated, measurable disadvantages for women. It stays near me because the way power reaches private life and makes some people disappear from the default story should not become an idea I can praise from a safe distance.

Why I keep it

The data was designed around men. I did not see it until she showed me.
