A worthy book to read, because it sparked several new thoughts and conversations. But so many of the problems facing women I’ve read about many times before. Perhaps in 2017-ish in the UK there was more cause to hope than in the US in 2020.

DID NOT FINISH: 24%

Too political facts-y. Very geared towards British politics and I don’t like politics enough to enjoy 

A great book, with lots of facts, good arguments. A very exciting reading

Wonderfully fascinating, extensively broad and intelligent if not smoothly written. An important discussion piece worth everyone thinking about.

Catherine Mayer seems to have put a lot of my thoughts on gender equality into words, although sadly her vision of 'Equalia' seems like an impossible dream. This would've got a five star review except for the fact that it did seem like a jumble of facts at times. Now, I'm off to sign up to the Women's Equality Party.

A good mix of information and personal experience. A reminder that progress does not always move in a straight line.
