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.

Such an important book for everyone to read - both women and men. It left me angry at the many ways that women are excluded and discriminated against around the world due to a lack of data or simply the failure to consider that women may have different needs to men.
