A brash, enlightening, and wildly entertaining feminist look at gendered language and the way it shapes us, written with humor and playfulness that challenges words and phrases and how we use them. Montell effortlessly moves between history and popular culture to explore these questions and more. Wordslut gets to the heart of our language, marvels at its elasticity, and sheds much-needed light into the biases that shadow women in our culture and our consciousness.

Story
In Men Explain Things to Me, Rebecca Solnit takes on the conversations between men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women don't. The ultimate problem, she shows in her comic, scathing essay, is female self-doubt and the silencing of women. Rebecca Solnit is the author of fourteen books about civil society, popular power, uprisings, art, environment, place, pleasure, politics, hope, and memory, most recently The Faraway Nearby, a book on empathy and storytelling.

Story
What makes “cults” so intriguing and frightening? What makes them powerful? The reason why so many of us binge Manson documentaries by the dozen and fall down rabbit holes researching suburban moms gone QAnon is because we’re looking for a satisfying explanation for what causes people to join - and more importantly, stay in - extreme groups. We secretly want to know: could it happen to me? Amanda Montell’s argument is that, on some level, it already has.

Story
Notes on Grief is an exquisite work of meditation, remembrance, and hope, written in the wake of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's beloved father’s death in the summer of 2020. As the COVID-19 pandemic raged around the world, and kept Adichie and her family members separated from one another, her father succumbed unexpectedly to complications of kidney failure. Expanding on her original New Yorker piece, Adichie shares how this loss shook her to her core.

Story
Work defines who we are. It determines our status and dictates how, where, and with whom we spend most of our time. It mediates our self-worth and molds our values. But are we hardwired to work as hard as we do? Did our Stone Age ancestors also live to work and work to live? And what might a world where work plays a far less important role look like? To answer these questions, James Suzman charts a grand history of "work" from the origins of life on Earth to our ever more automated present, challenging some of our deepest assumptions about who we are.

Publisher's Summary
Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development, to healthcare, to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take into account gender, because it treats men as the default and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. And women pay tremendous costs for this bias in time, money, and often with their lives.
Celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates the shocking root cause of gender inequality and research in Invisible Women, diving into women's lives at home, the workplace, the public square, the doctor's office, and more. Built on hundreds of studies in the US, the UK, and around the world, and written with energy, wit, and sparkling intelligence, this is a groundbreaking, unforgettable expose that will change the way you look at the world.

So glad I listened to this book!
I learned a tremendous amount from this book and I will be thinking about it and talking about it for months if not years. There is a heavy amount of statistics and data that I surely will not remember so I expect to be re-listening in the future. The foreword is challenging to get through due to the high volume of information presented, but the body of the work spends more time fleshing out the details and background. This is a must read!

Some Facts Are Hard to Swallow
I read this book with a sense of duty. Perez does an excellent job of backing up everything she says from hard statistics. I pushed through as there is an emotional toll reading about how the world is not considerate of your gender in the major social sphere. It’s important to be aware of how women are dismissed in medical research, the typical work week and the disproportionate amount of care work that “naturally” falls on us. A good read, and a mindful read. I would suggest to break up your time reading it, as there is a lot of information to digest, also to keep the rage at bay while you apply the information in this book to your daily life. You’ll be drawing a lot of parallels.

A Must-read
Finally, someone reading at a proper pace. Also, you NEED to read this book: knowing the lack of testing of medication and technology on women will make you rise up and lead the revolution ;)

Easy to read but hard to stomach
A great read about things that I don’t even think about ...or didn’t until I read this book. Now I see it often. If you want to inspire some insight - give this a read or a listen.

Very eye opening
This book is a must read. It was very frustrating to listen to at times (because of the topic, not the author or books narration) but Perez didn’t leave us hopeless, she highlighted ways we are making change and can continue to do so.

Empowering & Eye opening
In my heart I knew there was a gender bias but didn’t know how to articulate it. Reading this book opened my eyes to even more gender bias I was in aware of. I highly recommend everyone read this, it will seriously change your perspective
