Imagine a world where...
· Your phone is too big for your hand
· Your doctor prescribes a drug that is wrong for your body
· In a car accident you are 47% more likely to be injured.
If any of that sounds familiar, chances are you're a woman.
From government policy and medical research, to technology, workplaces, and the media. Invisible Women reveals how in a world built for and by men we are systematically ignoring half of the population, often with disastrous consequences. 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 profound impact this has on us all.
Discover the shocking gender bias that affects our everyday lives.

      Author/narrator Caroline Criado Perez's authoritative tone is convincing as she sheds light on the gender data gap that has had a profound effect on women's health and well-being. Her indignant narration paired with well-researched facts will inspire listeners to consider details of the world around them--from the pockets in their pants to the layout of their bathrooms and the size of their smartphones. Speaking in a clear voice and a British accent, Perez sounds incensed and unapologetic. Her passion will incite listeners to action in the face of truly depressing data that proves how dangerous the world is for women. A.K.R. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
