Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development to
health care to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to
allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data
fails to take into account gender, because it treats men as the default
and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our
systems. And women pay tremendous costs for this insidious bias, in
time, in money, and often with their lives.
Celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates this
shocking root cause of gender inequality in the award-winning, #1
international bestseller Invisible Women.
