Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Pérez

challenging informative fast-paced

5.0

Banger!!!!

I was tentative at first because i was scared of the author settling into bioessentialism, but thankfully, she made it a point that all the factors of discrimination and oppression in the gender data gap was due to social and systemic structures and not any innate, biological factor of "women being the weaker sex". 

The writing was clear and bolstered with data, which made her examples easy to conceptualize, and each of her chosen case studies encapsulated the overwhelming effects of the gender data gap.

She briefly mentioned intersections of queerness, race, economic status, class, and nationality, but i would've liked to see these intersections in more detail, though I can understand the points she made as is.

Overall, would recommend for anyone who is going to work in any field related to tech, architecture/urban planning, politics, public service and education, healthcare, or history, or anyone who needs to fodder for being a big hater (me)
