Discover the shocking gender bias that affects our everyday lives in this groundbreaking gift of an audiobook edition, read by Caroline Criado Perez.
Imagine a world where...
· Your phone is too big for your hand
· Your doctor prescribes a drug that is wrong for your body
· In a car accident you are 47% more likely to be injured.
If any of that sounds familiar, chances are you're a woman.
From government policy and medical research, to technology, workplaces, and the media. Invisible Women reveals how in a world built for and by men we are systematically ignoring half of the population, often with disastrous consequences. Caroline Criado Perez brings together for the first time an impressive range of case studies, stories and new research from across the world that illustrate the hidden ways in which women are forgotten, and the profound impact this has on us all.

So captivating and absolutely mind-boggling!
Easily one of the best books I’ve encountered, so well-researched and structured. Not a single boring part, I was truly captivated throughout the entire book, and enjoyed every second of it.
Excellent book with excellent narration
Highly recommended to all readers
Must read… without audio
Excellent research, including case studies I’ve shared with others… well, the ones up to about 40% through… I am unable to complete this great book. The authors, by no fault of her own, has the voice of an exasperated and entitled English woman… vexed once again by her incompetent junior stable hand. Please please please record this with a professional orator, I want to finish the book. I have adhd and I can’t focus on written books.
