Invisible Women Data Bias in a World Designed for Men

This is a book children should read in school. It would get humanity and society to a new level. It would have so much more impact on society than the analysis of Faust. U need to take ur time with this book bc some chapters make u want to quit earth.

This book was the first feminist literature I read and was completely eye opening to me. The author digs into every aspect possible and provides sources that show just how little we women are taken into account.

Packed to the brim with facts, studies, and proof. So many sources are used in the book, and all of them prove the inequalities women faced in the past and still face in the present. A MUST-READ for both men and women. Anyone interested in feminism, in how women lead their lives, their pains and sufferings that, despite all, are not paid any attention to from the world should give this book a shot. It can easily change your whole perspective in life. Includes seemingly unrelated topics, but once you're in, you'd be reading it and gasping with a shocked and disgusted face. Some of the atrocities against women that still pass under the radar of governments is disturbing. Extremely educational. Reccomend with both hands up. Please read it.

its a hard read and not fun. But its very interesting and infuriating at some point. i would recommend everyone to read this book. i suggested it to many people and no one was dissapointed so far.

I know this book will trigger some fragile egos but if you're looking for evidence for people (you know who I'm talking about) who say things like "what inequality are women even facing?" "Women and men are already equal" etc. then show them this book and the relevant research (even though we all know they could simply look around and talk to the women/girls in their lives). One of the most important topics this book covers is women's unpaid work that is unappreciated and simply expected of women around the world. A good example I can think of is poor women in certain countries who work out in the fields or on construction sites but still have to come home to do all the housework and child care (including looking after the manchild). This is truly "invisible" work that many don't appreciate or repay. The book covers many other interesting topics too. One of the parts I love is the one where a woman says that men are able to "identify" more with a blue hedgehog in video games than female leads. We can see time and time again the emotional outrage from male gamers, the latest one that I came across being about the Fable 4 game. My only critique would be to differentiate between the struggles of black/brown women and white women more. Black/brown women suffer more and many of them also suffer from racism. White women deal with misogyny, gender-based violence, the pay gap etc too but the struggles of these groups are not the same. Overall, a recommended read from me.
