Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Pérez

informative slow-paced
This is a difficult book to review. How do we balance something that has a lot of value to one group, whilst excluding another group? There's no denying that Invisible Women has opened up a lot of conversations - if nothing else, it's allowed a lot of women to raise things that might have been silently troubling them for a long time, things they may think they were being too sensitive about, things they felt they should stay invisible about. At the same time, this book would only have been strengthened by trans inclusion, and I cannot in good faith completely legitimise an author who is clearly aware of the harm she's perpetrating, yet continues to do so.
