This book is one of the best nonfiction books I've ever read. I love books that really challenge me to think and change the way I see the world, and this book did both beautifully. I love how much this book tells a story but also pulls data from around the world. Caroline Criado Perez has my utmost respect.

This is a very informative book however I feel that the data could be more racially inclusive and sensitive. Yes women are underrepresented and under researched (etc), but this compounds with racial identities as well.

I really wish there was an updated; post- pandemic, gender-neutral bathroom, Trump era, promotion of trans rights... version that incorporated greater recognition of intersectionality. I loved the contents of this book, but feel like there could be a broader focus on any data bias in the context of non, cishet white-male identit(ies). At points it felt a lot like a pure lit-review, but was informative nonetheless. A great and important read!

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.
