Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men [OverDrive]

Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development, to healthcare, to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions.

And women pay tremendous costs for this bias, in time, money, and often with their lives.
