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, treating 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.

In her new audiobook, Invisible Women, award-winning campaigner and writer Caroline Criado Perez shows us how, in a world largely built for and by men, we are systematically ignoring half the population. She 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.

Ein kraftvolles und provokantes Plädoyer für Veränderung! Unsere Welt ist von Männern für Männer gemacht und tendiert dazu, die Hälfte der Bevölkerung zu ignorieren. Und Frauen zahlen einen enormen Preis für diese Tendenz. Frauen, die in Nagelstudios, Fabriken für Autoplastik oder an vielen anderen gefährlichen Arbeitsplätzen tätig sind, gehören zu den verletzlichsten, machtlosesten Arbeiterinnen überhaupt. Frauen sind überhaupt nicht bedarfsgerecht mit Toiletten versorgt. Eine von drei Frauen hat keinen Zugang zu sicheren Toiletten.

Doing anything "like a woman" used to be an insult. Now, as the women in this book show, it means being brave, speaking out, and taking risks, changing the world one step at a time. Here, campaigner and journalist Caroline Criado-Perez introduces us to a host of pioneers, including a female fighter pilot in Afghanistan; a Chilean revolutionary; the Russian punks who rocked against Putin; and the Iranian journalist who uncovered her hair.

Every day women are reinventing what it means to be female in cultures where power, privilege or basic freedoms are all too often equated with being male. One of the most tenacious campaigners of her generation, Caroline Criado-Perez introduces us to these pioneering women. We meet the first woman to cross the Antarctic alone; a female fighter pilot in Afghanistan; a Chilean revolutionary turned politician; and the Iranian journalist who dared to uncover her hair.

Ce livre qui s'est hissé en tête des ventes du Sunday Times est considéré comme la « Bible féministe » du XXIe siècle. Imaginez un monde où tout est conçu pour les hommes au détriment de votre santé, de votre sécurité et de votre confort. Un monde où vous avez froid sur votre lieu de travail, et où certains médicaments peuvent être mortels simplement parce que les tests sont effectués sur des hommes.
