NEW-Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men

An important book that everyone should read.

This book should be required reading for anyone who is currently feeling too happy and wants to bring it down a notch and physically throw a flaming minivan into a wall. But I mean this as a good thing. (Maybe?)
As frustrating, infuriating and yet ultimately validating as this was to read, I have a tiny bit of hope that this book will have a simular legacy as [a:Rachel Carson|15332|Rachel Carson|https:images.gr-assets.com/authors/1397487410p2/15332.jpg] and [b:Silent Spring|27333|Silent Spring|Rachel Carson|https:i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1442353674l/27333._SY75_.jpg|880193] had on the world in the 60's and beyond.

Totally agree with other reviews about this being an important read for women and men alike. But I knocked a star off because it got to be quite repetitive and honestly, boring. I'd suggest reading this along with a more light-hearted book to switch back and forth. It was a bit much (and yes, infuriating) at times, but her research and information is phenomenal.

To those reviewers upset about how the author excludes trans + non-binary folx, I just don't think that was within the author's focus for the book, not that it isn't important. Perhaps it wasn't within the breadth of research, which was extensive to say the least. I don't think the intention was to leave out a group of people, but rather to focus solely on the specific Male v Female dynamic that's been in place for hundreds/thousands of years.
