Today on Between The Covers, host Suzanne LaGrande interviews Caroline Criado Perez, writer, broadcaster, feminist activist and author of Invisible Women: Gender Bias in a World Designed for Men.
Recently published, Invisible Women explores how data helps perpetuate gender inequality. 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. This is a groundbreaking, unforgettable exposé that will change the way you look at the world.
