Caroline Criado Perez talks to Sally Magnusson at the Edinburgh International Book Festival

In conversation with Sally Magnusson, award-winning feminist campaigner and writer Caroline Criado Perez exposes the hidden systematic discrimination women face every day. Invisible Women is her clarion call for change, bringing together new research and stories revealing the gender data gap; a lack of knowledge which has created unseen bias against women everywhere from public policy to technology, business and the media. This event was recorded live at the Edinburgh International Book Festival 2019.
