内容简介
 · · · · · ·

Imagine a world where your phone is too big for your hand, where your doctor prescribes a drug that is wrong for your body, where in a car accident you are 47% more likely to be seriously injured, where every week the countless hours of work you do are not recognised or valued. If any of this sounds familiar, chances are that you’re a woman.

Invisible Women shows us how, in a world largely built for and by men, we are systematically ignoring half the population. It exposes the gender data gap – a gap in our knowledge that is at the root of perpetual, systemic discrimination against women, and that has created a pervasive but invisible bias with a profound effect on women’s lives.

Award-winning campaigner and writer Caroline Criado Perez brings together for the first time an impressive range of case studies, stories and new research from across the world that illustrate the hidden ways in which women are forgotten, and the impact this has on their health and well-being. From government policy and medical research, to technology, workplaces, urban planning and the media, Invisible Women reveals the biased data that excludes women. In making the case for change, this powerful and provocative book will make you see the world anew.

评论 ······

全是数据 看了一点点

Audiobook | the anger and seriousness in her voice was disturbing yet quite charming

实事都是对的就是难读,是本参考书,把社会和日常各方面对女性的有色眼镜和考虑不周全用百分比和数据列了一遍,写作手法相当有限,说是博士专题论文我都信。整本书38%是参考文献。

内容和观点ok,但是文笔生硬叙述能力罗嗦。作为一本以纯数据为中心的书,硬生生的写出了论文的效果,没有graphics和一个简单明确的guideline。而且很多数据没有 benchmarking, making it all over the place and out of context。拍成纪录片应该效果更好。
