Book recommendation: “Invisible Women” by Caroline Criado Perez

I have been talking about this book for a while now and I find it super important even if it is written in quite binary terms however statistics speak louder than any conceptual ideas. Such as:

* Women are 17% more likely to be killed in a crash because cars have been designed around the bodies of male crash test dummies.

* Women are 27% less likely than men to receive CPR from bystanders in public because CPR training does not include women’s figures.

Would you think there is #genderinequality in?
✅ Snow clearing
✅ Public toilets
✅ Crash test dummies
✅ Smart phones
✅ Offices temperatures
✅ Garden equipment

Well there are and there’s also a very interesting chapter on AI & if we don’t close the datagaps before taking AI too far then the same bias will exist in our future worlds.

Criado Perez moves methodically from private life (Chapters 1 and 1) to public life (Chapters 12 to 14), with stops in ‘the workplace’ (Chapters 3 to 6), design (meaning here ergonomics) in Chapters 7 and 8, before ‘going to the doctors’ (Chapters 10 and 11). Page after page, Criado Perez presents overwhelming evidence that addressing the concerns of women saves money (not to mention lives, expands the economy (women’s labour is often excluded from GDP and other indicators. Through the course of the book, Criado Perez provides bountiful evidence of her thesis that there are three primary data gaps endangering the health and wellbeing of women: the physiology of female bodies, the care burden placed almost entirely on women and experiences of violence.

Overall it's a really impactful books for me and I would love to hear your feedback and ideas on not only the book but the issues presented 💥
