About this listen

Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development, to healthcare, 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 bias in time, money, and often with their lives.

Celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates the shocking root cause of gender inequality and research in Invisible Women, diving into women's lives at home, the workplace, the public square, the doctor's office, and more. Built on hundreds of studies in the US, the UK, and around the world, and written with energy, wit, and sparkling intelligence, this is a groundbreaking, unforgettable expose that will change the way you look at the world.

As a man I am sorry to say that all the lack of awareness Perez weird about totally applies to me. An eye opening and important book.

One of the most important books you can read.

This piece hurt me in a way I was not prepared for, but one I accept. Only once you have examined the extent of the disease can you begin to work on a cure. We have to cut away the dead and rotten, then “all PEOPLE need to do, is ask a woman”.

A CALL TO ACTION

A breadth of great examples. Women need more than one seat and one voice at the table. They need to be collaborators and leaders to solving our challenges. Delivered with a bit of a chip, it is clear the problem is as wide as it is deep and needs to improve.

Thank you for sharing.

Good stuff to Understand

This book is great in so many ways. I have recommended it to so many people and hope to use it as part of a new curriculum around male leadership... Leaders who Ally!

This book provides empirical evidence on sexism at inception in all walks of life. It provides evidence of what happens when women aren't counted in planningand securing our world. I plan to use this in my diversity and inclusion work and as required reading for any men who claim allyship.

A must read for women AND men

Great story telling while a thorough review of data lead research, and where data lead research is lacking, is underway.

Amazing book, a must read

Filled with so many interesting and thought provoking details regarding treatment and view of the female gender throughout history.

Very informative and inspirational

This book is a must read for everyone, but especially for men. As a Man married to a woman for 20 plus years and raised two daughters I have stood witness to the accounts of this book. I can also verify many of these accounts personally from my observations in various workplaces, academia, and the general public. But aside from my personal observations and anecdotes, Perez does a great job presenting this information from data driven studies.

A must read!
