So mind boggling good and absolutely infuriating about sexism in science: https://blogendorff.com/2018/05/23/book-review-inferior/

#15 read a book about feminism
It took me 2 months to finish this book from the day I started, but that doesn’t mean a whole lot for me and non fiction. Until 2 days ago, I had only read 90 pages and I read the rest over last night and this evening. It’s an incredibly readable book, filled with facts, theories and a whole bunch of stuff that keeps running through my brain.
What I have taken away is this: we have come far, but still have further to go.

Very nice book, with a lot of scientific research. Angela tries to explain as much research as possible, even when she does not agree with the conclusions. Good to understand some behaviors in our society. However, sometimes the book can be a bit dense but still very good to be more informed about gender bias in science.

Not really what I expected. I agree that we need more women in science but I don't necessarily take the feminist stand point on this. Maybe that's because that word has such a negative connotation attached to and this surely should change. I don't agree with the author's view on abortion but mine stands from a religious perspective but I hear when she's saying other countries need to allow for women's rights. This book seem more anthropological to me and I found it hard to follow at times. There was a lot of theories being thrown around and I found it hard to keep up with which ones meant what. I liked the end that said 'the facts are what will empower us to transform society for the better, into one that treats us(male and female) as equals. Not just because this makes us civilized but because, as the evidence already shows (in this book), this just makes us human.'
So maybe with that I still stand by the fact that me and women each have strengths that contribute to society. In each our own way. One isn't better than the other.
