Book Title: Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men
Author: Caroline Criado Perez
Selection Statement:
It seems fitting to me to celebrate my professional success in academia with the selection of a book that discusses gender inequality and research. Academia, like the rest of the world, has come a long way in addressing gender inequities, but, also like the rest of the world, has a long way to go. This book highlights the ways we can do better in recognizing and valuing women’s lives through data and research. It also signifies my personal commitment to continue to lift up other women as I climb and to use my role as a librarian to identify and challenge discrimination and bias in research, professional practices, and day-to-day life.
