WINNER OF THE 2019 ROYAL SOCIETY BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD
British activist and journalist Caroline Criado Perez brings together for the first time case studies, stories, and new research from around the world that shed light on the subtle ways in which women are excluded from government policy and medical research, technology, workplaces, urban planning, and the media.
The book exposes the biased scientific data that shapes a world centered around the male body and has direct implications for women's health and well-being.
WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT THE BOOK
A game-changing book, filled with a barrage of facts that provoke laughter, tears, and melancholy, the author manages to unequivocally prove her initial position that the world is made for men. Terribly original!
• The temperature in workplaces is on average five degrees lower than what is comfortable for women.
• In a crash, a woman is 47% more likely than a man to be seriously injured due to car design.
• Husbands create an additional seven hours of housework per week for their wives.
• On average, a man is twice as likely to interrupt a woman during a conversation than the other way around.
Read an excerpt
Men usually have a relatively simple travel pattern: commuting in and out of the city twice a day. In contrast, women’s travel patterns are usually more complex. 75% of unpaid care services worldwide are provided by women, which greatly affects their mobility. A typical “female” route includes, for example, accompanying children to school before work, transporting elderly relatives for medical care, as well as shopping for the day on the way back home. This is known as “trip-chaining,” a travel pattern consisting of several interconnected, shorter trips, which has been documented in the daily lives of women globally.
