Overview
This two-book paperback set pairs Caroline Criado Pérez's two landmark works of feminist non-fiction. Invisible Women exposes the hidden gender data gap running through design, medicine, transport, and policy, showing how a world built around male defaults quietly disadvantages women every day. Do It Like a Woman... and Change the World collects real-life stories of daring women who pushed back against expectation to change their corner of the world. Together they offer sharp research and inspiring narrative side by side, rewarding anyone curious about gender equality, social science, or the everyday politics of being a woman.

About the Books
Invisible Women is Caroline Criado Pérez's meticulously researched examination of how data collection has, for centuries, defaulted to the male experience, with consequences that ripple through medicine, urban planning, technology, the workplace, and government policy. Drawing on statistics, case studies, and interviews, Criado Pérez shows how this gender data gap leads to products, spaces, and systems that fail to account for half the population, and why closing that gap matters for safety, health, and economic fairness. The book won the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award in 2019 and became an international bestseller praised for making dense research accessible and genuinely urgent. Do It Like a Woman... and Change the World takes a more personal approach, gathering profiles of women from around the world who defied convention in politics, activism, journalism, and everyday life. Rather than relying on data alone, Criado Pérez lets these women's own choices and risks illustrate what courage and persistence can look like across different cultures and circumstances. Read together, the two books move between rigorous argument and lived experience, giving readers evidence for why change is needed alongside vivid examples of people already making it happen. The pairing suits readers of feminist non-fiction and social science alike, and works well for a book club or classroom discussion on gender and society.
