Age Group: Adults

Description:

This award-winning, internationally bestselling work of non-fiction exposes a hidden flaw running through the modern world: a "gender data gap" that treats men as the default and women as the exception. Drawing on hundreds of studies, Caroline Criado Perez shows how this absence of data quietly disadvantages women everywhere — from car safety tests and smartphone sizes to office temperatures, city planning and, most strikingly, medical research, where women have long been under-studied, misdiagnosed and mistreated. Written with energy, wit and forensic precision, she argues that these aren't small oversights but systemic biases that cost women time, money and sometimes their lives. Eye-opening and rigorously researched, it permanently changes how you see the everyday world.
