Great to see so many statistics and the thorough way of sharing all that data. I did like the book a lot, I just wish it was more intersectional. Where is race, disability and sexuality? Fat-, indigenous- and transwomen?
I get that the book was written with one topic (ciswomen) in mind and I guess there was just not enough space for more diverse point of views? But to be honest just like this book tells us women have been ignored and silenced for so long in a way that causes a lot of misinformation and suffering (which is true), in the exact same way it is ignoring all the intersectionality.

It’s a good start though, and I can’t wait to gift it to people who claim feminism isn’t needed anymore.

This book made me realize a lot of what I didn’t like in the world was because it was made with men only in mind. In all areas of transportation, healthcare, product design, politics, and even disaster relief efforts. My one critique is that there is not a lot of trans-inclusive language but this book is about the lack of data on AFAB bodies and cis women.

I had the latest edition that included an epilogue about the Covid pandemic which I appreciated because some lines were harrowing to read from a book published in 2019. Overall, an eye-opening read. I want to read more feminist literature like this

I’d highly recommend audiobook for this. I think it would have been harder to enjoy as text because it is a bit dense, very statistic heavy, and quite frankly overwhelming. That being said, this was important & eye opening! Some things I knew, many things I learned. This world was not designed for us!
