This content is not described in great detail, but some references may be triggering. Especially when she addresses violence, as part of the last several chapters on responses to disasters.vrhayes08's review against another edition

This book shines a light on the experience of women from cultures around the world, not just developed nations. Still, there is more focus on developed nations (in part because we have more data on developed nations!). I did also feel that for a book talking about gender data gaps, this book ironically massively ignores the existence of non-binary and gender non-conforming people. Definitely a worthwhile read, but maybe needs a sequel about the invisibility of nb/gnc and intersex people in data (an even worse problem that also offers so much for society to learn from).

While I have known the world was designed for men (the phone I'm typing on right now is too big for my small, but not unusually sized hands, to be used one-handed easily), seeing the extent of it in everything from air bags to policy was very revealing. The book illustrated in many facets the repercussions of not taking women into account, and none are positive. It is quite daunting how much needs to be changed, and the book unfortunately does not offer any solutions for the world to be made more equitable from the flaws it pointed out in its writing. Additionally, the book does not delve into detail other intersectional identities like race, or at all for more prejudiced-against groups like LGBTQIA* folks. Regardless, it is a recommended read to understand how pervasive the idea of only designing for men and refusing to consider women is.
