Criado Perez writes, “…failing to include the perspective of women is a huge driver of an unintended male bias that attempts (often in good faith) to pass itself off as ‘gender neutral’. This is what de Beauvior meant when she said that men confuse their own point of view with the absolute truth.” Regardless of gender, has there ever been a time in your life when you realized that something you believed to be an absolute truth was actually a product of your personal point of view? If so, what prompted you to adjust your perspective?.Criado Perez centers her book on the concept that “a gender gap in data perpetuates bias and disadvantages women.” She believes that the gender data gap “is not generally malicious, or even deliberate.” Where else have you noticed data gaps? What other groups in society are being impacted by those data gaps?.It has so far spent 20 weeks in the Sunday Times bestseller lists, is being translated into nineteen languages, and is the winner of the 2019 Royal Society Science Book Prize, the 2019 Books Are My Bag Readers Choice Award, and the 2019 Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award. Caroline was the 2013 recipient of the Liberty Human Rights Campaigner of the Year award, and was named OBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours 2015.Īll the Single Ladies by Rebecca Traister 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 exposé that will change the way you look at the world.From the author’s website….Ĭaroline Criado Perez is a best-selling and award-winning writer, broadcaster and award-winning feminist campaigner. Her #1 Sunday Times best-selling second book Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men, was published in March 2019 by Chatto & Windus in the UK & Abrams in the US. And women pay tremendous costs for this bias, in time, money, and often with their lives.Ĭelebrated 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. 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. From economic development, to healthcare, to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions.
