I can see how the title alone is going to get some people off guard and defensive before they have even read a page. Instead, this book is more about the unconscious bias of women, and therefore a title reflecting this maybe less construed as misandristic. In saying that, it was a well researched, enlightening read. We all aware of the blatant acts of sexism but Invisible Women highlights areas which personally I was ignorant of. And to be clear, these are not to due misogyny, as Caroline Cried Perez points out, it is a genuine lack of awareness of the difference between men and women. Finally, Invisible Women was published in 2019, it is now 2024 and I do feel there has been significant improvements in the knowledge of conscious and unconscious bias over the years, but there is always more to be done!

Wish everyone read this book. I still tell people the anecdote about snow plows being sexist in my day to day life.

nyxthecactus's review against another edition
It didn't feel right. There was a lot emphasis on man/male and woman/female which are not the same thing (gender and sex are two different things), so I just... Couldn't focus on the interesting stuff when I tried to get past the slight gender essentialism
