I am reading Invisible Women : Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men"


Here is clip from one review:
Imagine a world where your phone is too big for your hand, where your doctor prescribes a drug that is wrong for your body, where in a car accident you are 47% more likely to be seriously injured, where every week the countless hours of work you do are not recognised or valued.

If any of this sounds familiar, chances are that you're a woman.

Invisible Women shows us how, in a world largely built for and by men, we are systematically ignoring half the population. It exposes the gender data gap - a gap in our knowledge that is at the root of perpetual, systemic discrimination against women, and that has created a pervasive but invisible bias with a profound effect on women's lives.

From government policy and medical research, to technology, workplaces, urban planning and the media, Invisible Women reveals the biased data that excludes women.

A book like this could easily be a polemical attack on how horrible men are: it is not. It is a calm, thorough account of the scientific basis of many bias issues. So much so that it has recently won the Royal Society science boom prize.

It is one of those books that would make a great textbook for senior school 'personal development' courses.
