Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men - Caroline Criado Perez - 5 stars

[Jason]

This is an enlightening look how women are not considered...ever. They are grouped into a male default even though women are different physiologically, psychologically, and have different day to day needs.

My brother-in-law recently asked what do you call a doctor who specializes in men's medicine. My sister responded, you call them a doctor, because all medicine is for men. Men are the default.

The conversation is the essence of this book. While most of the time this gender bias is not malicious, it does exist. Perez gives a way to look at the world that is more inclusive to everyone's needs. I recommend this book for everyone, especially those in a position to make policy and social decisions.

Thanks for the reminder. I’ve had this on my tbr for a long time. I hope we’ll have a nonfiction tag this year.
