Very interesting text that brought up lots of point with stats to back them up.
 
I had 2 main gripes. Firstly it was very binary. I would have liked to see some LGBTQIA*+ representation if possible although I get that it may not fit into the premise of the book. Secondly, it felt, tonally, quite man hating which I found quite difficult.

Overall very informative but not sure if I would read again because of the tone.

Everyone should read this book. Though if you have any empathy at all, it's going to break your heart and piss you off.

Amazingly researched, but let down by the lack of intersectionality. The main focus was on American and British cishet women. Other than that Criado Perez exposes the gender data gap and makes compelling arguments around increasing female representation to make a more accessible world for all.

Truly proud of myself for taking the time to really dig into this book, as I'm walking with this incredible depth of knowledge about all of the pervasive and unrecognized ways the female population is discriminated against at every level of our lives. And how so much of it is the result of failing to ask women any questions. From prescription drugs to low income housing to disaster relief, this book is an absolute must read. I particularly appreciated how the author made space to talk about countries other than the US and UK, making this a global perspective on discrimination and gender gaps rather than a white European one.
