Book club questions for Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez
Use these discussion questions to guide your next book club meeting.
Caroline Criado Perez states in her book that the data gender gap “is not generally malicious, or even deliberate.” What do you think she means by this? How do factors like workforce development, education, and gender representation historically contribute to creating a gender data gap?
Can you give an example of how the gender data gap has had an impact on your daily life or routine?
What do you think the author means by her statement: “There is no such thing as a woman who doesn’t work. There is only a woman who isn’t paid for her work.”
