I really enjoyed this book and I learned a lot from it. It really helped me realize that some issues that seem frivolous can actually really add up or be more dangerous than they seem. I appreciated it covering the realities for women all over the world and telling a diverse bunch of  stories. I wish it would have spent a bit more time touching on intersectionality and how largely that impacts data gaps also.

1. I read this as an audiobook; why were abbreviations, that are harder to say, not just said as their full title.
2. From what I remember there was 0 mention into how imperialism and colonialism affects women in the Global South, even as there was mention of exploitation of the countries mentioned.
3. nor was capitalism explicitly mentioned
4. Say that transwomen exist, I dare you!
5. Everything being put down to the gender data gap in lieu of misogyny got grating towards the end of the book. I realise that the gender data gap is caused by misogyny.
6. Not a direct mention on how the military/police affect women, esp those in the Global South; but the comfortability of soldiers or police was discussed. 
7. Did not know when the book was published as the audiobook only said at the end of the reading which made trying to figure out the context of the writing harder.

All in all its not a bad book. The actual data and some specific studies themselves were interesting. However a lot of the takeaways you could get from the book I had already heard prior to listening to this (likely from someone who had also read this book but just before i had).

I really wish there was an updated; post- pandemic, gender-neutral bathroom, Trump era, promotion of trans rights... version that incorporated greater recognition of intersectionality. I loved the contents of this book, but feel like there could be a broader focus on any data bias in the context of non, cishet white-male identit(ies). At points it felt a lot like a pure lit-review, but was informative nonetheless. A great and important read!

4.0

Very interesting text that brought up lots of point with stats to back them up.
 
I had 2 main gripes. Firstly it was very binary. I would have liked to see some LGBTQIA*+ representation if possible although I get that it may not fit into the premise of the book. Secondly, it felt, tonally, quite man hating which I found quite difficult.

Overall very informative but not sure if I would read again because of the tone.
