Reviews with content warning for Sexual violence - Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men

It is infuriating that these issues still persist even when they are known. I connected a lot with the topic of this book due to my lived experiences and as someone who loves data.

Wow. While not an entirely uplifting read, it is an important one. This book considers so many ways that women are left out. From transportation, to medicine, to protection against violence this book lays out a clear thesis. Excluding women from the data is harming everyone.

I thought all her points were good and well thought out. If anything there was sometimes too much supporting information and my eyes glazed over sometimes.

Despite a dense subject it is surprising easy to read. I didn’t feel lost at too many points, and if I did the acronyms were to blame, not the author.

In the current political climate I think this message is more important now than ever.
