From a leading feminist activist, a provocative examination of how a gender gap in data perpetuates bias and disadvantages women

Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development, to healthcare, to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take into account gender, because it treats men as the default and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. And women pay tremendous costs for this bias, in time, money, and often with their lives.

Celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates shocking root cause of gender inequality and research in The Other Half, diving into women’s lives at home, the workplace, the public square, the doctor’s office, and more. Built on hundreds of studies in the US, the UK, and around the world, and written with energy, wit, and sparkling intelligence, this is a groundbreaking, unforgettable exposé that will change the way you look at the world.

Dados alarmantes

Espero que seja publicado no Brasil. Livro com pesquisas completas e evidências como o mundo não é projetado para as mulheres, desde o espaço público a medicina.
Alguns dos casos: falta de iluminação pública e transporte coletivo, remédios ineficazes para a população feminina e diagnósticos imprecisos.
