Winner of the 2019 Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award Winner of the 2019 Royal Society Science Book Prize Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development, to healthcare, to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take into account gender, because it treats men as the default and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. And women pay tremendous costs for this bias, in time, money, and often with their lives. Celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates the shocking root cause of gender inequality and research in Invisible Women, diving into women’s lives at home, the workplace, the public square, the doctor’s office, and more. Built on hundreds of studies in the US, the UK, and around the world, and written with energy, wit, and sparkling intelligence, this is a groundbreaking, unforgettable exposé that will change the way you look at the world.

Doing Anything "like a woman" used to mean being a bit rubbish. No longer. Now, as the women in this book prove, it means being brave, thinking differently, speaking out, standing up, taking a risk, fighting back, dreaming big, and being more than a bit amazing.

Unsichtbare Frauen: Wie eine von Daten beherrschte Welt die Hälfte der Bevölkerung ignoriert

btb Verlag

¿Te imaginas cómo sería vivir en un mundo en el que tu teléfono móvil es demasiado grande para tu mano? ¿En el que tienes un 47 % más de probabilidades de morir que tu pareja en caso de sufrir un accidente? ¿En el que un fármaco prescrito por el médico produce efectos secundarios en tu organismo? Si estás familiarizada con estas situaciones, con toda probabilidad eres una mujer. 
Este libro saca a la luz el alto precio que las mujeres deben pagar por vivir en una sociedad construida a medida de los hombres, en muchas ocasiones a costa de su salud y bienestar. «Ésta es la historia de lo que sucede cuando nos olvidamos de hablar de la mitad de la humanidad. Y es también una llamada al cambio», resume en sus páginas Caroline Criado Perez. 
Galardonado con Premio de la Royal Society al mejor libro de ciencia del año, La mujer invisible es un ensayo único y riguroso que expone, a través de estadísticas e historias personales recogidas por todo el mundo, cómo los datos que conforman la sociedad, lejos de ser objetivos, también están marcados por un sesgo masculino. «Este libro es un grito de guerra que debería impulsar a las mujeres a la acción y ser una lectura obligatoria para los hombres» (The Sunday Times).\nBook Description\nYa has oído hablar de la brecha salarial. Ahora vamos a hablar de la brecha de datos que separa a hombres y mujeres.

Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development to health care to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take into account gender, because it treats men as the default and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. And women pay tremendous costs for this insidious bias, in time, in money, and often with their lives. 
Celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates this shocking root cause of gender inequality in the award-winning, #1 international bestseller Invisible Women. Examining the home, the workplace, the public square, the doctor's office, and more, Criado Perez unearths a dangerous pattern in data and its consequences on women's lives. Product designers use a "one-size-fits-all" approach to everything from pianos to cell phones to voice recognition software, when in fact this approach is designed to fit men. Cities prioritize men's needs when designing public transportation, roads, and even snow removal, neglecting to consider women's safety or unique responsibilities and travel patterns. And in medical research, women have largely been excluded from studies and textbooks, leaving them chronically misunderstood, mistreated, and misdiagnosed. 
Built on hundreds of studies in the United States, in the United Kingdom, and around the world, and written with energy, wit, and sparkling intelligence, this is a groundbreaking, highly readable exposé that will change the way you look at the world.
