...a damning indictment of the institutional ignorance about women that is built into all aspects of life, and the unintentional discrimination it causes. Invisible Women is a game-changer; an uncompromising blitz of facts, sad, mad, bad and funny, making an unanswerable case and doing so brilliantly.
While some of these 'gender data gaps' are well-known, others are strikingly unexpected.
...furiously brilliant.
...useful and sobering.
Criado Perez handles this material with subtle wit, calm authority, and a tendency to turn toward solutions. The book inaccurately treats womanhood as interchangeable with certain traits or experiences—like small stature, having given birth to one’s children, or facing gender discrimination in professional settings—which will turn off some readers. But this is still a provocative, vital book..
The author provides an incisive narrative paced more like a novel than a scientific study, offering digestible information with a sharp dose of wit.
