Este libro es interesantísimo. Práctico y sencillo para conocer y tener mano los datos más relevantes sobre la situación de la mujer en el mundo, cómo hemos avanzado y todo el trabajo que nos falta.

Muy buena edición y muy visual. Si no le he dado cinco estrellas es porque algunos gráficos no me terminaron de quedar claros, algunos conceptos podrían estar mejor explicados y en alguna ocasión mezcla datos de hombres y mujeres de una forma un tanto extraña.

Aun así más que recomendable.

Indubbiamente un testo interessante, ma non mi sento totalmente soddisfatta: tanti dati ma poca contestualizzazione e uno scarso livello di approfondimento che lascia un senso di incompiuto. Utile per avere una panoramica generale, ma avrei preferito qualche dato in meno a favore di maggior informazioni su alcuni aspetti. Inoltre non sono sicura di aver capito in che modo l'autrice ha scelto i singoli Paesi di riferimento per ogni situazione: cambiano da pagina a pagina e non consentono quindi di avere una visione d'insieme su alcuni Stati, ma si è influenzati dal punto di vista dell'autrice.
Tutto sommato credo sia un prodotto molto valido per delle ragazzine che si affacciano al tema del femminismo.

This should be required reading for everyone.

It's fascinating, sad, and shows us how far we have to go and why feminism still matters.

An indispensable resource for anyone interested in women’s studies/feminism/women’s rights. I’ve always loved atlases and geography, and this book is very informative at presenting the statistics on how far we’ve come and how much more needs to be done to ensure equality.

I read the 2009 edition so I’d love to pick up the most recent one to see how things have changed in the past decade.

A very interesting book. It is packed with information, which is presented in colorful graphs and charts, making the information easier to process. The book focuses on women around the world, including the intersections of race and class. A very informative read.While some of the charts are a little confusing, overall this is a great book filled with important information.

Un livre très complet avec des chiffres intéressants mais qui font aussi parfois peur.

This book explores the differences between women and men throughout the entire world. It investigates sections over Health, Property, Education and many other topics. Not only do they compare and contrast women and men, they are compare socioeconomic status. I thought it was a very interesting look into things I had not thought about before, such as dowry deaths. I would certainly be excited to look at a revised edition in a few years to see if any of the statistics had changed!
