" Rezension(3): "The Bookseller: Invisible Womentakes on the neglected topic of what we don't know - and why. The result is a powerful, important and eye-opening analysis of the gender politics of knowledge and ignorance. With examples from technology to natural disasters, this is an original and timely reminder of why we need women in the leadership of the institutions that shape every aspect of our lives. " Rezension(4): "〈a href=http://www.audiofilemagazine.com target=_blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/audiofile_logo.jpg alt=AudioFile Magazine border=0 /〉〈/a〉:Author/narrator Caroline Criado Perez's authoritative tone is convincing as she sheds light on the gender data gap that has had a profound effect on women's health and well-being. Her indignant narration paired with well-researched facts will inspire listeners to consider details of the world around them--from the pockets in their pants to the layout of their bathrooms and the size of their smartphones. Speaking in a clear voice and a British accent, Perez sounds incensed and unapologetic. Her passion will incite listeners to action in the face of truly depressing data that proves how dangerous the world is for women. A.K.R. � AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine"
