Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Pérez
informative
slow-paced
3.5
This read like a PhD thesis - regurgitating too much data without making enough insightful connections between that data. The book was far too long for the point she made. I felt like her approach was often just “women are victimized by men” and… that’s not a helpful approach to this topic. The data quickly lost its meaning and became a sea of numbers. I did learn from this book and came away with new perspectives on my own experience - but I was mostly annoyed with the author’s quips and shallow conclusions and therefore struggled to finish this book. Oh, and I am a woman, so don’t hate.
