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

4.5
This is certainly a deep and insightful read. Its a book that I think every woman should read, its one I will suggest to my friends and family both men and women.
The author strips back the layers to the basics, men and women and asks us are we biased, we believe we aren't but we truly are.
This is a love letter to all the women who have complained before that their work clothes aren't designed for them and the women who complain that medicine is biased against periods. The women are forgotten in the male centred world.
I would give this 5* which is totally deserves -- but it is very info heavy so can be a little confusing at points and there is a lot of statistics which means I did put it down a few times.
Otherwise this was a fabulous read.
