《Invisible Women》简介:
Imagine a world where your phone is too big for your hand, where your doctor prescribes a drug that is wrong for your body, where in a car accident you are 47% more likely to be seriously injured, where every week the countless hours of work you do are not recognised or valued. If any of this sounds familiar, chances are that you're a woman.
Invisible Women shows us how, in a world largely built for and by men, we are systematically ignoring half the population. It exposes the gender data gap – a gap in our knowledge that is at the root of perpetual, systemic discrimination against women, and that has created a pervasive but invisible bias with a profound effect on women’s lives.
Award-winning campaigner and writer Caroline Criado Perez brings together for the first time an impressive range of case studies, stories and new research from across the world that illustrate the hidden ways in which women are forgotten, and the impact this has on their health and well-being. From government policy and medical research, to technology, workplaces, urban planning and the media, Invisible Women reveals the biased data that excludes women. In making the case for change, this powerful and provocative book will make you see the world anew.
《Invisible Women》摘录:
女性總是在工作。她們做著沒有薪水可領的工作、低薪的工作、不受人重視的工作、看不見的工作,但她們從未停止工作。然而,現代的工作環境不適於女性生存。從工作的位置、時數到標準法規,一直以來全都是依照男性的生活而設計,但如今已不符合它們最初設立的目的。勞動界必須全面革新———不管是法規、設備還是文化———而且新設計必須依女性生理構造與生活方式來決定。我們必須了解,女性做的工作並不是某種附加效益,某種我們不需要的紅利:女性的工作包含支薪與無薪層面,而且她們的付出是支持我們社會和整體經濟的骨幹。重視女性工作的時代已經到來。P164
