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.

We live in a gendered world, where we are ceaselessly bombarded by messages about sex and gender. On a daily basis, we face deeply ingrained beliefs that sex determines our skills and preferences, from toys and colors to career choice and salaries. But what does this constant gendering mean for our thoughts, decisions, and behavior? And what does it mean for our brains? Drawing on her work as a professor of cognitive neuroimaging, Gina Rippon unpacks the stereotypes that surround us from our earliest moments and shows how these messages mold our ideas of ourselves.

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.

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.

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!

Amazing and life changing!
This book is everything that I hoped it would be. It is shocking some of the statistics that are analyzed in Caroline's book.
Men and women should both read this. I cannot thank the author enough for creating this book. It was lifechanging!

Definitely worth the read
This was a book that I have wanted to read for some time now, but I also felt that it would be a difficult, boring if useful read. I anticipated a lot of statistics -which in fairness it does have - laid out like a government report that eventually draws the conclusions that sexism is real y’all! Surprise! 🤷🏾♀️
But, as much as I wasn’t looking forward to trudging through what I had assumed would be a tedious book, I also recognised that the information in this book would arm me with the facts I needed to carefully articulate that ‘...the reason I’m always in a blanket in the office Bob, is because the temperature is set at the ideal temperature for the average man who’s metabolic rate is on average 23% higher than the average woman’s...’ 🤜🏾🎤
I found listening to the book (as I generally do with books like this) a little annoying only because I never remember to use the bookmarking features on audible and always get frustrated when I want to make a note of something, but that’s just me 😊🤷🏾♀️.
Overall it was a pretty great read, it should’ve been much more intersectional but for what it covers it is pretty good.

Very good
This book was made for Audible. You, if you’re like me, will need to take it in bite size pieces. It’s lots of stats but ad you make your way through you’ll see these facts and stats in the world, the news and even in your parents! I liked it and I’ll likely listen again.

Interesting eye-opening read
I was surprised by some of the facts presented in this book. They are so obvious that I accepted them as facts when, in reality, they were always a male perception of the world. I am wondering where we would be as humanity is women were more present in power positions. Let’s start by educating our sons in being attentive to the other half’s needs.

A must read
This book is a fact based look at how the world overlooks half the needs of our population in policies and designs. Often without intending to do so. Both men and women need to read this book to understand what data gaps are out there and how this is influencing our decisions and welfare.

This book is incredible. I’m recommending it to everyone I know. A lot of times I felt angry listening to what was being said but I’d rather be angry than ignorant.
