Imagine a world where your doctor unknowingly prescribes a drug that is harmful to you; where you are 47% more likely to be seriously injured in a car accident than the other half of humanity; where your domestic labor after a hard day's work is little noticed or appreciated. Sound familiar? Then you're probably a woman. Caroline Criado Perez uncovers a serious problem in the book that directly affects women's health and well-being: the developers of various products and technologies rely on data collected about the individual, where "man" is by default "male." Women, with their particularities and needs, remain unnoticed. The author sidesteps deep debates about the nature of contemporary feminism, but presents indisputable facts about the gender data deficit in fields ranging from politics and medical research to technology, labor relations, urban planning, and media. This brilliant book, which has won many prestigious awards, proves the need for change and forces us to take a fresh look at the way our world is organized.
