This is a well written, interesting, thoroughly researched book about an extremely important issue… And the content is so depressing it took me months to listen to. It’s absolutely appalling.
I’d recommend this book to everyone, but I won’t be rereading unless I need to write a paper.

Validating, eye-opening, and infuriating. Loved the author's dry humor. Engaging and well written.

This was easily one of the best books I‘ve ever read. Admittedly it took me months to get through it, but that’s because it is so infuriating to read that I had to take breaks for my own sanity. The impacts of a lack of female data are so far reaching and ingrained in everything that it’s honestly a bit shocking and disheartening…from simple things like office temps, cabinet heights and phone sizes to more important topics of girls’ participation in sports, car safety, disaster relief and pharmaceutical R&D. The book is so packed with data from around that world that it really requires a slow and careful reading, but I have already cited in conversations the information I learned from this book more times than I can count. The number one book I am recommending to everyone!

While this is not an easy book to read (I was torn between feeling frustrated, angry and baffled) everyone should really take the time to read it. Every man should read this book so that maybe they can get closer to understanding what reality women live in.

What a great book!! Absolutely packed with facts and stats. Should be mandatory reading for students, scientists, law makers, people in positions of power, hell everyone! Made me in equal parts angry and inspired to influence change. I don’t usually read books twice but could see myself going back to this. Really highly recommended.
