Invisible Women
Our modern world is ostensibly built on data, yet a critical flaw persists: a pervasive gender data gap. In this episode, we delve into Caroline Criado Perez's seminal work, 'Invisible Women,' to expose how the absence of women's data and experiences creates a world designed for a 'default male.' We examine the profound implications of this oversight, from historical medical research that ignored female physiology to crash test dummies that put women at greater risk. Discover how this systemic invisibility manifests as tangible costs in women's health, safety, economic opportunity, and overall well-being. This isn't about blame, but about understanding the invisible blueprint shaping our lives and taking the crucial first step towards building a truly inclusive world where data reflects all of humanity.
