Summary
Pierwsza książka， która na taką skalę analizuje seksistowski charakter świata， w którym żyjemy – od dostępności usług publicznych po projektowanie dóbr luksusowych。 Caroline Criado Perez na setkach przykładów pokazuje， że domyślnym użytkownikiem większości dóbr i usług jest wciąż mężczyzna i pisze o tym， w jaki sposób wpływa to na codzienne życie połowy ludzkości。 Brak istniejących danych na temat kobiet – ich potrzeb， zdrowia， sposobów korzystania z infrastruktury i usług publicznych， funkcjonowania na rynku pracy etc。 prowadzi do ich systematycznej dyskryminacji we wszystkich dziedzinach życia， od języka， poprzez system edukacji czy ochrony zdrowia （np。 diagnostyka i leczenie niektórych chorób）， normy obowiązujące w miejscach pracy， system ochrony pracy po system podatkowy i zarządzanie， nie mówiąc już o （nie）obecności kobiet na kartach historii。 Przedsięwzięcie Caroline Criado Perez jest imponujące przede wszystkim ze względu na ilość materiału， jaki poddała analizie， i fakt， że objęła nią obszar od Norwegii po Argentynę i RPA i od Stanów Zjednoczonych po Japonię。

I was really excited to read this book and I reeeeally wanted to like it- but it read too much like a research paper and the ending of each chapter was too preachy for my liking。

An incredibly interesting， shocking and quite frightening read。 Really well researched， it is important that this book is read by as many people as possible， especially men。

Popsugar 2021: a book about a social justice issueI hated every second of this book but it was fascinating and just incredibly illuminating。 This incredible quote from the afterward sums it up well: It seems the answer was staring us in the face the whole time; all "people" needed to do was ask women。 I've never been so enraged by having truths I've always known written out and explained to me using data that nobody ever bothered to collect before。 Like， I know that I have trouble gripping certa Popsugar 2021: a book about a social justice issueI hated every second of this book but it was fascinating and just incredibly illuminating。 This incredible quote from the afterward sums it up well: It seems the answer was staring us in the face the whole time; all "people" needed to do was ask women。 I've never been so enraged by having truths I've always known written out and explained to me using data that nobody ever bothered to collect before。 Like， I know that I have trouble gripping certain tools and things but it hadn't occurred to me that the majority of household products are designed for the average male hand。 Women more often get motion sickness in cars than men because women have different equilibriums and bodies that adjust to motion differently， not to mention the fact that seatbelts and interiors are also built around the standard male body。 I've never really identified as feminist but I've always believed firmly in female empowerment and the fact that we are underrepresented in literally EVERY industry and sector of human life。 I appreciated that although this author is a self-proclaimed feminist and has a public platform， she leads with the facts。 The narrator for sure was losing her patience along with me in reading about the injustices towards women， but there was nothing misleading or exaggerated。 The premise that women are seen as deviant from the "standard" model of humanity - i。e。 the average caucasian male - was a unique angle and complete genius。 Caroline is right - women are 50% of the human population！！！ Why！！ are！！ we！！ treated！！ as！！ minorities！！ Why have pharmaceutical and medical research teams done 503，324，949 studies on erectile dysfunction and almost none on PMS/PMDD/menstrual pain that impacts the daily life of HALF OF THE POPULATION。 There are absolutely too many "did you know that。。。？？！？？" things in this book to name， but I nodded my head the hardest at the stats on women doing 75% of the world's unpaid care work and the fact that care work isn't factored into GDP at all。 All the complaints of big companies that want to get an equal number of women employees but not understanding that they need to not penalize women for getting pregnant， provide longer notice of work shifts so childcare can be planned， BUILD STAIRCASES THAT ARE NOT TRANSPARENT GLASS inside offices in which women wear skirts or dresses， and oN AND on。 All of the healthcare and drug related studies were infuriating and heartbreaking because it's 2021 and women are still dying because studies are only done on men without any consideration for the difference in womens' bodies at a CELLULAR LEVEL。 Occupational health and safety standards built around a male body's tolerance to harmful chemicals is directly responsible for staggering numbers of women working in nail salons all over the world being diagnosed with cancer。 And on and on and on。I like that this isn't a "men are the devil" book and actually found a lot of it applicable for perspective on marginalized races as well。 If we build our society - whether consciously or unconsciously - around the human experience of white males with no consideration of women or minority races， even things that are considered "ungendered" or "colorblind" are， in fact， biased， to the detriment of the marginalized and society as a whole。 。。。more

Do you want to be angry about the world？ Read this book。I gave it 4 stars， because I wish that we could deep dive into more into some of the topics。 It we were jumping to a different Data Bias each Chapter and it became overwhelming。 Which I think was the point to show how vast the the data bias is but I felt like I came out with tibits of facts without a well rounded understanding。 But I think this was meant to radicalize you to call for better data in all things。 I know I will be asking more q Do you want to be angry about the world？ Read this book。I gave it 4 stars， because I wish that we could deep dive into more into some of the topics。 It we were jumping to a different Data Bias each Chapter and it became overwhelming。 Which I think was the point to show how vast the the data bias is but I felt like I came out with tibits of facts without a well rounded understanding。 But I think this was meant to radicalize you to call for better data in all things。 I know I will be asking more questions if I have the chance。 。。。more

One of the most important， well-researched books on global feminism and how sexism reaches its tendrils wide and far。 I wish this were required reading for everyone of all genders。 May research like this continue so that we can work on an equitable world for all。

This was a painful book。 I listened to it， read by the author， for the full frustrating experience。 In terms of my “feelings” at the end， I want to give it like a 3 star rating because of how uncomfortable and breakneck hard the subject matter is， but this book is so well researched and relentless in its presentation of how women are being exploited and passed over。。。 it will really stick with me and it taught me a LOT。 It was a book I needed to be exposed to。

This was a super interesting book。 It’s was also incredibly overwhelming to see how pervasive the gender data gap is and how it impacts so many details of everyday life。A few takeaways I focus on （to prevent me from being totally frustrated and outraged， if I’m being honest）:1。 We hear the stats that businesses with women in executive positions and generally found throughout the ranks out-perform male-dominated businesses。 I feel like the beginning and end makes a really solid case for why this This was a super interesting book。 It’s was also incredibly overwhelming to see how pervasive the gender data gap is and how it impacts so many details of everyday life。A few takeaways I focus on （to prevent me from being totally frustrated and outraged， if I’m being honest）:1。 We hear the stats that businesses with women in executive positions and generally found throughout the ranks out-perform male-dominated businesses。 I feel like the beginning and end makes a really solid case for why this occurs - I posted a quote in an update to the effect that women’s experiences aren’t necessarily excluded on purpose， but simply because no women are consulted and so businesses and governments and organizations miss out on the insight from an experience not had by men。2。 We do not value the work of caring for others， but we should。 This ties in really nicely with the book by Anne Marie Slater。3。 If you are ever involved in collecting data， make sure the data is equally sampled from impacted groups 。。。 men， women， or other groups depending on the reason for the data。 And make sure to have a balance set of perspectives and genders involved in the planning phase of what data to collect。 。。。more

Whatever your reservations about the author and her （probable） TERFisms - this is a fantastic book that everyone should read。 This is fantastic piece of academia， chocked with reputable references， making the case that women have been deemed a minority and an aberration within our society， even today。 It really does open your eyes to how our world has been designed by and for men， to women’s detriment。 Please read。

One of the best books I have ever read on how failures at the systemic level lead to tangible impacts on entire groups of people。 Invisible Women is a book that I will be recommending to all of my fellow men。 This book makes an air-tight case that not taking women into account in almost any domain in society has led to many negative consequences for them precisely and， by extension， our community。

Muy bueno pero es raro que en un libro cuyo punto es que los datos no son confiables haya tan poco análisis crítico sobre los estudios que aparecen en el trabajo。 Se presentan como Verdad。 Es un libro sobre epistemología que no habla de epistemología。

This book is a perfect blend of data analysis and Inclusion & Diversity for women。 It clearly highlights with specific examples that even if we are absolutely unbiased in our decision making process still the data in front of us is itself skewed。 So the problem of making the world equal for both the genders needs a much detailed look than just declaring ourselves as being meritocratic and unbiased。 A must read for people who are trying to make the work and social life a equal place for men and w This book is a perfect blend of data analysis and Inclusion & Diversity for women。 It clearly highlights with specific examples that even if we are absolutely unbiased in our decision making process still the data in front of us is itself skewed。 So the problem of making the world equal for both the genders needs a much detailed look than just declaring ourselves as being meritocratic and unbiased。 A must read for people who are trying to make the work and social life a equal place for men and women。 。。。more

Sometime back a person from my college group pointed out Google Translate has inherent data bias。 My mother tongue which is Bengali has no gender based pronouns or verbs。 So I decided to translate "Shey doctor。 Shey nurse" which means "He/She is a doctor。 He/She is a nurse"。 To our suprise， google translate changed this in English to "He is a doctor。 She is a nurse"。 We tried with few other examples and languages， all with the same result。 It is maddening and frustrating as a woman how we face b Sometime back a person from my college group pointed out Google Translate has inherent data bias。 My mother tongue which is Bengali has no gender based pronouns or verbs。 So I decided to translate "Shey doctor。 Shey nurse" which means "He/She is a doctor。 He/She is a nurse"。 To our suprise， google translate changed this in English to "He is a doctor。 She is a nurse"。 We tried with few other examples and languages， all with the same result。 It is maddening and frustrating as a woman how we face bias everywhere， even in seemingly neutral spaces。 This book just explains those and substantiates them through data。 Some facts were so surprising， it forced me think， "Oh I never thought of it this way！" or "Do I have the same biases as well？"。 I think this is a book everyone should read。 May be then we can bring a change in the world！ Here is an excerpt from the book which I really liked - "For millennia， medicine has functioned on the assumption that male bodies can represent humanity as a whole。 As a result， we have a huge historical data gap when it comes to female bodies， and this is a data gap that is continuing to grow as researchers carry on ignoring the pressing ethical need to include female cells， animals and humans， in their research。 That this is still going on in the twenty-first century is a scandal。 It should be the subject of newspaper headlines worldwide。 Women are dying， and the medical world is complicit。 It needs to wake up。" 。。。more

This book was shocking to me， as a women。 Part of my lived experience is that I feel invisible in a lot of ways， especially as a woman over 40。 It was shocking to see how much I， and all women， truly have not and still are not being taken into account in pretty much every aspect of society。 I can only imagine that for women of color， which was a little touched on in the book， it is even worse。 The world needs to do better。

This book has a really important message and some important（ly shocking） statistics but I am just dumbfounded by the lack of discussion around trans men and women， non binary folk， etc。 70 pages in and not one mention。 I have also read some articles that suggest Criado Pérez is somewhat TERF-y so for all these reasons I just cannot finish this book。 I think I would still recommend you to check it out if it was given to you or if you can get it for free， but not sure I would tell you to spend any This book has a really important message and some important（ly shocking） statistics but I am just dumbfounded by the lack of discussion around trans men and women， non binary folk， etc。 70 pages in and not one mention。 I have also read some articles that suggest Criado Pérez is somewhat TERF-y so for all these reasons I just cannot finish this book。 I think I would still recommend you to check it out if it was given to you or if you can get it for free， but not sure I would tell you to spend any money on it。 。。。more
