by Caroline Criado Perez

2019 · 432 pages · Nonfiction

Caroline Criado Perez exposes a world built by and for men, revealing the systematic "gender data gap" that ignores women's experiences. From snow plowing schedules and car safety tests to medical research and office temperatures, she demonstrates how the lack of female-specific data leads to pervasive bias and physical danger. This eye-opening book uses rigorous research to show how design and policy decisions often treat men as the default human, urging a fundamental shift in how we collect and use data.
