Brilliant research and an incredible message.
I felt so angry and violated as a woman, reading about all the ways those of my sex are discriminated against. In some instances, I could relate (misdiagnosis, wrong size of clothes, not being believed), and reading how common it is just made me more angry.
After reading this, I just keep thinking: now what? What do we do about this?
I read this for a book club discussion, and I can't wait to discuss it with my friends.

Wow. This was really well done. I feel like as a woman you know that the world isn’t designed for you simply by existing in it but having it all outlined here was sooo good for me. I enjoyed the pacing and the author’s writing style, it wasn’t too abstract. I definitely intend on getting a physical copy and rereading.
This unlocked something in me lol. I am deeply angry and deeply motivated for change.

Really interesting analysis of how the world is designed for men and women are a continual afterthought. I particularly enjoyed the chapters on how gender imbalances affects developing nations economically. Brought back happy memories of one of my uni courses.
