niche request: does anyone have access to a hard copy of this paper which doesn’t seem to be available online? pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14241740/

I have no doubt it will be incredible ❤️

Something a bit different from me today. An ode to ageing like The Smashing Pumpkins…brought to you courtesy of the complicated but ultimately joyful feelings I experienced watching a band I’d worshipped in my teens perform live over 20yrs later newsletter.carolinecriadoperez.com/p/an-ode-to-...

Pray a moment of silence for Raynor Winn’s agent and editor this morning 😬

😱

That’s so lovely to hear!

Niche complaint, but AI just spoilered Anna Karenina for me, so add that to the list of its many crimes

Last week I was honoured to be announced as the winner of the inaugural Unwin Award -- a new literary prize that recognises authors whose work has made a contribution to the world. This is the speech I gave making the case for human creativity newsletter.carolinecriadoperez.com/p/making-the...

Thank you! It was great to see you :)

The Perfection Trap “Why are girls to be told that they resemble angels; but to sink them below women?”

I don’t believe in imposter syndrome - and in the latest edition of the Invisible Women newsletter, I explain why

Thank you!

Witches and babies and DEI, oh my! We shouldn’t have to make a business case for the business of being human

What do witches and babies have to do with the backlash against DEI?

This week’s Invisible Women newsletter is a rather sprawling essay that represents my attempt to answer exactly that question.

UPDATE: someone has kindly shared with me

You would think! But just goes to show everything he says about sex is about enforcing gender norms not actually helping women. Which was already obvious, but surprising how many people didn’t grasp this

If anyone is able to share a copy of the now offline FDA guidance on including underrepresented populations in clinical trials with me I’d be very grateful. Apparently ensuring medications work for women is part of the “woke” agenda now.

Are women underrepresented or are men overrepresented? “In fact, many of the studies in this field have used male models as a reference, ignoring the anthropometric diversity of women.”

To find out what researchers discovered when they tested the effect of this shift, as well as excellent news on seatbelt design head to the latest edition of the Invisible Women newsletter!

What if we've been talking about representation all wrong?

When we talk about gender in leadership, we usually talk about female <under>representation. But what if we should instead be talking about male <over>representation?

The Perimenopause Gold Rush There’s a wave of new companies making big promises to millennial women. Is it all too good to be true?

This is an excellent piece. I'm really pleased to see the growing pushback against meno-mongering of all kinds

What’s the German for “finally finishing an interminable section of your book only to find that new international guidelines (the first in a decade) were released 3 days ago for the condition you’ve been writing about” 🫠

“They just don’t want me over Christmas”: assisted dying and domestic abuse Seventy-six per cent of palliative care doctors oppose a change in the law

“The potential for these laws to be used in the furtherance of violence against women has been shamefully absent from the assisted dying debate.”
I share @ccriadoperez.bsky.social concerns: it’s because I care about autonomy & dignity for all newsletter.carolinecriadoperez.com/p/they-just-...

This is an extraordinary piece. If you thought you had an informed opinion on assisted dying, give this a look.

Thank you!

“They just don’t want me over Christmas”: assisted dying and domestic abuse Seventy-six per cent of palliative care doctors oppose a change in the law

On assisted dying & domestic violence:
- 88% of “mercy” killers are male (& mercy killings are often very violent)
- Men are overwhelmingly the survivors of “failed suicide pacts”
- 76% of palliative care drs oppose change in law on assisted dying

Middle-class women of a certain age it is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all.

Women are considered “old” much younger than their male counterparts: women are old at 30, whereas men don’t drop into the dreaded “old” category until they’re in their 50s. In this week's newsletter I've written about "women of a certain age"...

Just so many apparently ordinary men. Absolutely chilling

urgh that’s infuriating! It’s a book about data and systems and some men STILL find a way to make it all about their feelings!!

I sat in court at the Gisèle Pelicot rape trial. This is what I saw Gisèle Pelicot became a symbol of courage when she waived her anonymity to attend the trial of her husband and 50 other men accused of raping her — and ignited fierce debate about the law surrounding ...

Whenever I read about this case I think of the Greer quote about how women don't realise how much men hate us and I think, it's not quite right. We know, we just can't bear to think about it most of the time. Devastating account by @victoriapeckham.bsky.social
