Imagine a world where the doctor, unknowingly, prescribes a drug that is harmful to you, where the probability of you getting seriously injured in a car accident is 47% higher than the other half of humanity, where your homework after a hard day's work is noticed and appreciated by few people. Does this picture sound familiar? Then you're probably a woman. Caroline Criado Perez uncovers a serious problem that directly affects women's health and well-being: the developers of various products and technologies rely on data collected about the human being, where "man" is "male" by default. Women, on the other hand, with their peculiarities and needs, go unnoticed. The author sidesteps profound debates about the nature of modern feminism, but presents undeniable facts about the lack of gender data in areas ranging from politics and medical research to technology, labor relations, urban planning, and media. This brilliant account, which has won many prestigious awards, proves the need for change and forces us to look at the structure of our world in a new way.
