Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men

Caroline Criado Perez • 2020

THE #3 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER<br/><br/>Discover the shocking gender bias that affects our everyday lives<br/><br/>'A rallying cry to fight back' Sunday Times<br/><br/>'Press this into the hands of everyone you know. It is utterly brilliant!' Helena Kennedy<br/><br/>'A game-changer; an uncompromising blitz of facts, sad, mad, bad and funny, making an unanswerable case and doing so brilliantly…the ambition and scope – and sheer originality – of Invisible Women is huge' The Times<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>If any of this sounds familiar, chances are that you're a woman.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>From government policy and medical research, to technology, workplaces, urban planning and the media, Invisible Women reveals the biased data that excludes women.<br/><br/>Award-winning campaigner and writer 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 impact this has on their health and well-being. In making the case for change, this powerful and provocative book will make you see the world anew.

Les Grandes Oubliées - Pourquoi l'Histoire a effacé les femmes

Titiou Lecoq • 2023

Pourquoi l'Histoire a effacé les femmes<br/>De tout temps, les femmes ont agi. Elles ont régné, écrit, milité, créé, combattu, crié parfois. Et pourtant elles sont pour la plupart absentes des manuels d'Histoire. Pourquoi ce grand oubli ?<br/>De l'âge des cavernes jusqu'à nos jours, Titiou Lecoq s'appuie sur les découvertes les plus récentes pour analyser les mécanismes de cette vision biaisée de l'Histoire. Elle redonne vie à des visages effacés, raconte ces invisibles, si nombreuses, qui ont modifié le monde. Pédagogue, mordante, irrésistible, avec elle tout s'éclaire. Les femmes ne se sont jamais tues.<br/>Ce livre leur redonne leurs voix.<br/>Véritable phénomène depuis sa sortie, Les Grandes Oubliées de Titiou Lecoq a conquis plus de 100 000 lecteurs et lectrices en quelques mois.<br/>" Il faut lire ce livre ! Brillant, drôle et hyper accessible. " ELLE<br/>" Un livre édifiant que l'on dévore. À offrir absolument ! " La Grande Librairie<br/>" Il existe des livres qui hantent les lecteurs. Ce livre est un de ceux-là. " France Inter

The Ex Talk

Rachel Lynn Solomon • 2021

An Instant Indie Bestseller Public radio co-hosts navigate mixed signals in Rachel Lynn Solomon's sparkling romantic comedy debut.   Shay Goldstein has been a producer at her Seattle public radio station for nearly a decade, and she can't imagine working anywhere else. But lately it's been a constant clash between her and her newest colleague, Dominic Yun, who's fresh off a journalism master's program and convinced he knows everything about public radio.    When the struggling station needs a new concept, Shay proposes a show that her boss green-lights with excitement. On The Ex Talk, two exes will deliver relationship advice live, on air. Their boss decides Shay and Dominic are the perfect co-hosts, given how much they already despise each other. Neither loves the idea of lying to listeners, but it's this or unemployment. Their audience gets invested fast, and it's not long before The Ex Talk becomes a must-listen in Seattle and climbs podcast charts.     As the show gets bigger, so does their deception, especially when Shay and Dominic start to fall for each other. In an industry that values truth, getting caught could mean the end of more than just their careers.

Right after inserting his nose in my business, calling me delusional, and calling himself my best option. See? Outrageous. Aggravating. Blood boiling. And much to my total despair, also right. Which left me with a surly and extra large dilemma in my hands. Was it worth the suffering to bring my colleague and bane of my existence as my fake boyfriend to my sister's wedding?
