La mujer invisible book cover
La mujer invisible
Descubre cómo los datos configuran un mundo por y para los hombres
Caroline Criado Perez - 2019-03-12
Calificación de Goodreads
¿Te imaginas vivir en un mundo en el que tu teléfono móvil es demasiado grande para tu mano? ¿En el que tienes un 47% más de probabilidades de morir que tu pareja si tienes un accidente de coche? ¿En el que un médico te prescribe un medicamento que tiene efectos adversos sobre tu organismo? Si no necesitas imaginar nada de esto, enhorabuena: todo indica que eres una mujer. En su nuevo libro, la escritora y activista Caroline Criado-Perez nos muestra cómo, en un mundo construido por y para los hombres, nos olvidamos de la mitad de la población. La autora reúne por primera vez una apabullante cantidad de estudios, historias personales de mujeres y nuevas investigaciones a lo largo de todo el planeta que ilustran las diferentes maneras en las que las mujeres han sido olvidadas y el impacto que esto ha tenido en su salud y bienestar. Desde políticas públicas a ensayos médicos, desde la tecnología que usamos a diario al lugar de trabajo, desde la planificación de las ciudades a los medios de comunicación o los medios de transporte, La mujer invisible saca a la luz el sesgo en los datos que ha excluido a las mujeres. Un libro poderoso y provocativo que hará que veas el mundo de una forma diferente.

Been thinking about @CCriadoPerez’s book a lot recently, about how we live in a world designed for men. My personal favourite: This is the pot they expect you to be able to wee in at 36 weeks pregnant..      fuente
