Super informative and important. It likely didn't help my rating that I read much of this in one sitting as I often struggle with non-fiction and felt that powering through was my best option. Very heavy on the stats and figures but it highlights so many interesting and important facts.

A great introduction to the gender data gap, it’s very enlightening and very frustrating. A book everyone should read.

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.
