challenging informative reflective

4.5

Brilliant book that clearly explains the impact of excluding women's experience. It doesn't ignore the experience of non-white women either, but does acknowledge that although women and female data are missing, so too are data for non-white women plus pregnant and menstruateing women to a greater extent. Trans women however are not referenced at all.

It's very statistic heavy, and relentless, but a must read imo.

emotional informative sad medium-paced

4.0

A shocking, sad book. Really covers a breadth of issues facing women today. The breadth is so vast that sometimes coherency is sacrificed to cram in loosely related facts and figures. It is, however, wonderfully researched and an informative read.

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

kaleidoscope_heart's review against another edition

2.5

I found this book interesting and informative in the ways that the world sees women especially in relation to data but have been left disappointed by the complete lack of any meantion that people outside of the man/woman binary exist. Like it wouldn't of been to hard to put in.
