Description
Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Perez The way we think about data can have a profound impact on our lives. Yet, much of the data we rely on fails to take into account the experiences of women. This omission can lead to bias and discrimination, resulting in significant costs for women in terms of time, money, and even their lives. Criado Perez examines the ways in which data bias affects women, from the design of everyday products to public policy and medical research. She reveals how a "one-size-fits-all" approach can be damaging, particularly when it is based on a male-centric perspective. By uncovering the hidden patterns in data and their consequences for women's lives, Criado Perez sheds light on a critical issue that affects us all. Through a thorough analysis of the data, Criado Perez shows how bias can be addressed and how we can work towards a more inclusive and equitable world.
