The Invisible Woman is a groundbreaking examination of gender bias in data and design. Caroline Criado Perez exposes how the world is built around a “default male,” leading to systemic inequalities in everything from healthcare and workplace policies to urban planning and technology. Using a wealth of research and real-world examples, Perez shows how women are often overlooked in data collection, making them invisible in decision-making processes. Urgent and eye-opening, the book is a rallying cry for inclusive design and policy. It challenges institutions to confront the hidden ways women are excluded.
