Invisible Womenby Caroline Criado Perez exposes the erasure of women in a world that’s been designed bymenfor men — and men alone. In this world, women sit shivering in offices set to male temperatures, they hold phones that are too big for their hands, they struggle to reach the rail on the tube set to a male height.
Writer and activist Tracy King ran a successful crowdfunding campaign to send a copy of the book to every MP in the UK in the hope that lawmakers will take action against the gender data gap at the heart of this systemic discrimination. Those books have now been delivered to every single MP.

We’re not collecting data specific to women and that means that urban planning, transportation, policy, design, science, and manufacturing are overlooking the needs of half the world's population. But discomfort is just one part of the puzzle. This data gap is also putting women’s lives at risk.
