Caroline Criado Perez

The Profile

British author and feminist activist. Author of Invisibili (English title: Invisible Women), an evidence-driven book documenting the gender data gap.

Led campaigns for a Jane Austen Bank of England banknote and for a statue of Millicent Fawcett in Parliament Square; Invisible Women won the 2019 Royal Society Science Book Prize.

The review praises Invisibili for clearly documenting the gender data gap across many domains — workplace design, transport, medicine and economics. It highlights harms from male-as-default design and the costs of unpaid care work. The book argues for more women in decision-making and better data to achieve equality. The reviewer recommends the essay for all readers.
