The world's neglect or threat to women exists in every gaze, every bus, every toilet, every ordinary working day, and in every hidden corner of your and my lives.

Women carry out 75% of unpaid care work, contributing $10 trillion to global GDP each year

—but get less rest, no pay, and lack social support;

There are often long queues in the women's toilets, but the men's toilets are generally unobstructed.

——Due to different physiological structures, women need 2.3 times more time to go to the toilet than men, while male and female toilets are generally designed to be the same size, and men's toilets can accommodate more people because they have urinals;

Women are 71% more likely to suffer minor injuries, 47% more likely to suffer serious injuries, and 17% more likely to die in a car accident than men.

——Because cars are designed based on male body shapes, crash test dummies have been based on males for decades. Even in recent years, female dummies have been used for testing, but physiological differences in women, such as muscle mass distribution and bone density, have not been taken into account;

The same drug is not as effective for women as it is for men

——Because a considerable number of drug experiments do not include women in the research, 90% of pharmacology papers only describe research on male animals, and the male body is used to represent all of humanity.

From public transportation to government decision-making, from workplaces to hospital surgeries, behind a large number of "gender-neutral" rules, men are often seen as the default option and women are ignored.

Invisible Women is a game-changer. This book should be on the bookshelf of every policymaker, politician, and manager. Few books can truly change the way you see the world. Invisible Women is that rare book. Caroline Criado Perez makes a powerful case that the world is designed for men.

—The Times

There’s a rage beneath the surface of Invisible Women that’s about to burst forth, surfacing from time to time in the text. But the book’s power doesn’t come from rhetoric—it comes from the steady, continuous accumulation of evidence, and the sheer weight of its ideas. Reading Invisible Women, readers may feel dizzy, as I did, because many of these stories are my own or the stories of my friends.

——New Statesman magazine

Arm yourself with this book, and get it into the hands of everyone you know. It's an absolute gem!

—Helena Kennedy, British MP and former president of Mansfield College, Oxford University

This book's exploration of the "gender data gap" is a powerful weapon in every feminist struggle currently underway.

--Helen Lewis, former deputy editor of the New Statesman

The heart is moved by hard facts and powerful stories, and this McKinsey Business Book of the Year winner deftly combines the two to shed light on one of the most important issues of our time.

--Kevin Sneed, Co-President, Asia Pacific, Goldman Sachs

Invisible Women is about a topic that is ignored - we never see it, and we don't know why. This book is a powerful, important and eye-opening analysis of knowledge and ignorance in gender politics. From technology to natural disasters, it is a fresh and timely reminder of why we urgently need women in leadership positions in the institutions that shape every aspect of our lives.

—Cordelia Fine, Professor of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Melbourne

Invisible Women is a fascinating book filled with countless fascinating facts that are worth pondering. The consequences of treating men as the default option, or women as smaller men (when women are considered), have wide-ranging implications for everyone and everything, from snow shoveling to seat belts to many medical disciplines. I will definitely think of this book when I have a heart attack, a car accident, or need to use the toilet at the theater.

—Gina Rippon, Emeritus Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience, Aston University
