À propos de cet audio

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.

This was a book that I have wanted to read for some time now, but I also felt that it would be a difficult, boring if useful read. I anticipated a lot of statistics -which in fairness it does have - laid out like a government report that eventually draws the conclusions that sexism is real y’all! Surprise! 🤷🏾‍♀️

But, as much as I wasn’t looking forward to trudging through what I had assumed would be a tedious book, I also recognised that the information in this book would arm me with the facts I needed to carefully articulate that ‘...the reason I’m always in a blanket in the office Bob, is because the temperature is set at the ideal temperature for the average man who’s metabolic rate is on average 23% higher than the average woman’s...’ 🤜🏾🎤

I found listening to the book (as I generally do with books like this) a little annoying only because I never remember to use the bookmarking features on audible and always get frustrated when I want to make a note of something, but that’s just me 😊🤷🏾‍♀️.
Overall it was a pretty great read, it should’ve been much more intersectional but for what it covers it is pretty good.

Definitely worth the read

This book was made for Audible. You, if you’re like me, will need to take it in bite size pieces. It’s lots of stats but ad you make your way through you’ll see these facts and stats in the world, the news and even in your parents! I liked it and I’ll likely listen again.

Very good

I was surprised by some of the facts presented in this book. They are so obvious that I accepted them as facts when, in reality, they were always a male perception of the world. I am wondering where we would be as humanity is women were more present in power positions. Let’s start by educating our sons in being attentive to the other half’s needs.

Interesting eye-opening read

The author should be congratulated for exposing the gender data gap and its impact on women’s lives because of it. Perez delivered statistic after statistic on how society overlooks half of the population’s people. After reading, it should encourage women and men to speak up and to push for change for fairer treatment of females around the world.

Men & Women Must Read!

Finally, someone reading at a proper pace. Also, you NEED to read this book: knowing the lack of testing of medication and technology on women will make you rise up and lead the revolution ;)

A Must-read
