informative reflective slow-paced

4.25

Caroline Criado Perez’s Invisible Women exposes the systemic gender bias embedded in society, revealing how data gaps disproportionately disadvantage women. From healthcare to workplace policies, the book highlights how a male-centric world overlooks women's needs, often hindering their success despite equal competence.

Prior to reading Invisible Women, I had not fully grasped the pervasive nature of these inequalities. While discussions on gender disparity are common, this book provides a critical perspective by exposing the data gaps that reinforce systemic discrimination. Perez’s research-backed analysis is both eye-opening and unsettling, demonstrating that these disparities are not incidental but structural. More than just a critique, the book is a call to action, urging policymakers and individuals to recognize and address these biases. A must-read for anyone seeking a deeper, data-driven understanding of gender inequality.
