Reviews

Revelatory – it should be required reading for policy and decision makers everywhere
*Nicola Sturgeon*

HELL YES. This is one of those books that has the potential to change things – a monumental piece of research
*Caitlin Moran*

Revelatory, frightening, hopeful. A secular Bible
*Jeanette Winterson*

This book is a devastating indictment of institutionalised complacency and a rallying cry to fight back… Invisible Women should propel women into action. It should also be compulsory reading for men
*Sunday Times*

Invisible Women takes on the neglected topic of what we don't know - and why. The result is a powerful, important and eye-opening analysis of the gender politics of knowledge and ignorance. With examples from technology to natural disasters, this is an original and timely reminder of why we need women in the leadership of the institutions that shape every aspect of our lives.
*Cordelia Fine*

Invisible Women is 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; no less than the story of what happens when we forget to account for half of humanity. It should be on every policymaker, politician and manager’s shelves
*The Times*

Hugely readable, packed with facts and insight. An important book written with humour and flair
*Robert Webb*

Here are the facts! Caroline Criado Perez shines her penetrating gaze on the absence of women from the creation of most societal norms – from algorithms to medicinal doses to government policy. Knowledge is power – we all need to know how our systems work if we want change. Arm yourself with this book and press it into the hands of everyone you know. It is utterly brilliant!
*Helena Kennedy*

A blisteringly good book... never less than eye-opening, and frequently staggering
*Bookseller*

It’s a smart strategy to invite readers to view [a] timeworn topic through the revealing lens of data, bringing to light the hidden places where inequality still resides... Criado Perez wields data like a laser, slicing cleanly through the fog of unconscious and unthinking preferences.
