- Description
- This book shows how, in a world largely built for and by men, we are systematically ignoring half the population. It exposes the gender gap, a gap that is at the root of perpetual, systemic discrimination against women, and that has created a pervasive bias with a profound effect on women’s lives. From government policy and medical research, to technology, workplaces, urban planning and the media, Perez reveals the biased data that excludes women.
