Review of 'Invisible Women : Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Invisible women is a book about absence, it's a look at how the world is designed in favour of the average person which ends being male biased in all sort of things, from how cities are planned to menial things like how a phone is designed. It’s about the decisions to exclude women in the interests of simplicity, from architecture to medical research. It is packed with facts but it is written in such a way that it is really witty. Invisible women is for everyone, woman or man, who is interested in having an equal society. It’s also a book for policy-makers; it will introduce them to new and different ways of looking at the world, ways that probably they wouldn’t have considered before.
