This book highlights so many disadvantages that women face, simply living in a world not designed for them. It was shocking overall and very heavy in terms of the information. Good though and I’d still recommend.

This book will make any reader angry. But the point is well taken -- in a world where women are "other", there is so much that leaves them out and ignores their experiences, bodies, and lives. But there is hope to learn more by remembering that maleness is not the default, and adding female voices wherever there is progress to be made.

5.0

I thought this book was engaging, validating, and at times painful but incredibly important. Overall I would recommend it highly, frankly especially to cis white men who don’t understand the very real risks women face every day as a direct result of historic and ongoing patriarchal norms. That said, I wish the author had spent more time on the racial/ethnic and cultural data gaps resulting from imperialist, colonialist, white supremacist culture, and digging into the gap in intersectional analyses. I would also have liked to see more acknowledgment of the queer and trans data gaps. I can understand why the cisgender binary was the focus, and I really appreciated the book for what it was, but it would have been nice to include an introductory piece explaining why she chose not to go deeper into these areas, and possibly a call for additional research on racial/ethnic, cultural, and queer & trans data gaps at the end.

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.
