I get that the book was written with one topic (ciswomen) in mind and I guess there was just not enough space for more diverse point of views? But to be honest just like this book tells us women have been ignored and silenced for so long in a way that causes a lot of misinformation and suffering (which is true), in the exact same way it is ignoring all the intersectionality.
It’s a good start though, and I can’t wait to gift it to people who claim feminism isn’t needed anymore.

Never have I read something so necessary and important. All the data Criado Pérez has and hasn't been able to collect is shocking to say the least. With such an ease to explain, she takes your hand and walks you through the data-empty spaces society has deemed 'not popular enough' to fill. Intelligently, she asks why.
Why are we not collecting data?
Why are the needs of half the world's population deemed 'not common enough' to satisfy?
Why are we not acting when we already have the evidence and data to back up a solution?
From medical diagnosis, to appliances' designs; from society's infrastructure, to political systems; Criado Pérez draws a very clear (almost transparent) diagram on how women and female bodies are subject to indirect and direct discrimination in every corner of our lives. She urges for diversity, to fill so many data gaps that could make life better for EVERYONE. I could almost hear her screams of outrage... or maybe they were my own.
Please. Everyone. Read this book. It might be one of the most important pieces of non-fiction to grace my shelves.

I had the latest edition that included an epilogue about the Covid pandemic which I appreciated because some lines were harrowing to read from a book published in 2019. Overall, an eye-opening read. I want to read more feminist literature like this
