Invisible Women

Caroline Criado Perez’s groundbreaking book exposes the pervasive gender data gap embedded in institutions, products, and policies around the world. Through meticulously researched case studies, she demonstrates how women are systematically left out of research and decision-making, leading to everyday harms — from poorly designed medication dosages to dangerous urban planning. Perez writes with clarity and controlled anger, marshaling statistics and stories into a persuasive argument for structural change. The book is both revelatory and infuriating, showing how bias is built into systems assumed to be neutral. It is a landmark work of feminist analysis.
