Caroline Criado-Perez Knihy

Data jsou pro moderní svět zásadní. Od ekonomického rozvoje přes zdravotnictví až po vzdělávání, politiku nebo veřejnou správu, při rozdělování zdrojů i přijímání zásadních rozhodnutí se spoléháme na čísla. Značná část dat však nezohledňuje pohlaví, považuje muže za standard a ženy za atypické. Za tuto předpojatost ovšem ženy platí svým časem, penězi a často i životem. Caroline Criado Perez v knize Neviditelné ženy zkoumá příčiny genderové nerovnosti v domácnostech, na pracovištích, při lékařských diagnostikách, v politice i dalších oblastech. Kniha, postavená na stovkách případových studií z celého světa a napsaná s energií, vtipem a jiskřivou inteligencí, je průlomovým, nezapomenutelným odhalením, které změní váš pohled na svět.

In the last five years, the feminist movement has seen a radical upswell of energy and activism. We have been inspired by #LeanIn, we have found solidarity in #MeToo. We've pushed one another to be stronger and try harder. Caroline Criado-Perez's landmark book of feminist inspiration introduces us to the pioneers who motivated us to do it like a woman, including a female fighter pilot in Afghanistan; a Chilean revolutionary; the Russian punks who rocked out against Putin; and the Iranian journalist who dared to uncover her hair

Every day, all over the world, women are making a positive difference to their lives and the lives of the people in their communities. Most of these women are cut off from the rhetoric and theory of Western feminism; many are active in deeply patriarchal and socially restrictive societies; some may not even describe themselves as feminists. Nevertheless, these women are proving to themselves, and to the world, that a powerful force for change can sometimes start with a single brave action. In Do It Like A Woman , Caroline Criado-Perez, an outspoken activist and campaigner, uncovers these stories and investigates what they mean for the feminist movement as a whole. She gathers together stories from beatboxers in Malta and prostitutes in Merseyside to fighter pilots in Afghanistan and doctors in Portugal, and shows how women are taking positive, practical steps to challenge injustice or inequality, and change their world. While some of these stories (the Everyday Sexism campaign and the trial of Pussy Riot) are already known, the majority of the stories here have not yet been told, and demand to be heard.
