About the Book
In "Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men", Caroline Criado Perez exposes how data that excludes women influences policies, infrastructure, and everyday design - often with unintended but serious consequences. Drawing on global research and case studies, the book highlights how closing gender data gaps is critical to advancing equity, safety, and inclusion across society.
Why We're Reading This
The DEI Committee selected this book to explore how data bias affects transportation planning, safety, and infrastructure - areas where women's experiences are often overlooked. No need to complete the book beforehand – come ready to engage in a constructive conversation on topics such as gender data gaps in travel behavior and safety, inclusive design in transit and public spaces, workplace equity in transportation fields, and practical ways to apply data-driven DEI principles in our own organizations and communities.
