Caroline Criado Perez, Writer and feminist campaigner, giving a talk entitled "Invisible women", on the Main stage at New Scientist Live 2019


Imagine a world where your phone is too big for your hand, where your doctor prescribes a drug that is wrong for your body or where in a car accident you are much more likely to be seriously injured. If any of this sounds familiar, chances are that you're a woman. In this talk, Caroline Criado Perez explains how researchers in a wealth of fields from medicine and technology to workplaces and urban planning are failing to collect data on women, and the consequences of living in a world designed for men. Caroline Criado Perez is a writer, broadcaster and award-winning feminist campaigner. She is published across the major national media, and appears in both print and broadcast as a commentator on a wide range of topics. Her latest book, Invisible Women: exposing data bias in a world designed for men, is published by Chatto and Windus. A Sunday Times bestseller, it has been hailed as a game-changer, revelatory and a monumental piece of research. Caroline lives in London with her small excitable dog, Poppy, has a degree in English language and literature from the University of Oxford, and studied behavioural and feminist economics at the LSE. She was the 2013 recipient of the Liberty Human Rights Campaigner of the Year award, and was named OBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours 2015.
