Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development, to healthcare, to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take into account gender, treating men as the default and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. And women pay tremendous costs for this bias in time, money, and often with their lives. Celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates the shocking root cause of gender inequality and research in Invisible Women.

A must-read for every gender

Everyone can learn to be aware of and think differently about how women are overlooked, under appreciated and dismissed despite their essential role in society. Let’s start to recognize and rectify this issue.

The Color of Success tells of the astonishing transformation of Asians in the United States from the "yellow peril" to "model minorities" - peoples distinct from the white majority but lauded as well-assimilated, upwardly mobile, and exemplars of traditional family values - in the middle decades of the 20th century. As Ellen Wu shows, liberals argued for the acceptance of these immigrant communities into the national fold, charging that the failure of America to live in accordance with its democratic ideals endangered the country's aspirations to world leadership.

The narrator needs to research pronunciation
Revisado: 04-23-19
The book covered its topic well with good anecdotes, data and facts to describe how Asian assimilation created the myth of a "model minority" and was used to further discrimination against blacks. I am a sansei who was raised to be a model citizen after my mother was humiliated and scarred by WWII internment. I didn't question the philosophy of keeping my head down and getting all A's in school until I learned about internment when I was in high school. i related to the book and felt it covered the topic well. I hadn't thought much about how Asian Americans' "model" status was used to put down blacks, but the point is well taken. My problem with the Audible version is the narrator who misread and mispronounced several names and terms. Before getting paid to read a book, one should study the vocabulary and present it correctly. I haven't seen a print copy, so I may be wrong, but she said "homogeny" where "hegemony" was more appropriate and "comprise" where "compromise" made more sense. Other mistakes were "Gila" with a hard "g" instead of "hee-la," "Too-el" for "Tule" (pronounced too-lee) for names of internment camps. She said "Ku-ro-MO-bo" when it is pronounced "Ku-ROMrom-bo," the Japanese term for blacks and "Ha-KOO-jin" (with emphasis on second syllable) when it is correctly pronounced "Ha-ku-jeen," (no noticeable emphasis) the Japanese term for whites. The black singer is Paul Robeson (pronounced robe-son in two syllables), not Ro-be-son as she said it. And finally, Senator Dan Inouye of Hawaii is pronounced "ee-NOH-oo-eh" not "in-NEW-yeh." I'm almost surprised she said "Fong" correctly. Admittedly most of the mispronunciations were of Japanese words, but when you read a book about Asians, you should expect to encounter such terms and prepare for them. For me, the poor narrator detracted from my full enjoyment of this book.
