Story
All too often the focus of mainstream feminism is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few. Meeting basic needs is a feminist issue. Food insecurity, the living wage and access to education are feminist issues. The fight against racism, ableism and transmisogyny are all feminist issues. White feminists often fail to see how race, class, sexual orientation and disability intersect with gender. How can feminists stand in solidarity as a movement when there is a distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others?

In her new audiobook, Invisible Women, award-winning campaigner and writer Caroline Criado Perez shows us how, in a world largely built for and by men, we are systematically ignoring half the population. She exposes the gender data gap - a gap in our knowledge that is at the root of perpetual, systemic discrimination against women and that has created a pervasive but invisible bias with a profound effect on women’s lives.

'Women are told, from birth, that it's our job to be small: physically small, small in our presence, and small in our impact on the world. We're supposed to spend our lives passive, quiet and hungry. I want to obliterate that expectation....' Guardian columnist Lindy West wasn't always loud. It's difficult to believe she was once a nerdy, overweight teen who wanted nothing more than to be invisible. Fortunately for women everywhere, along the road she found her voice - and how she found it!

Saccharine and Fluffy
Key take home messages include “teach your boys to watch porn” and “plastic surgery is empowering” and “men have periods too” (but also “if men had periods tampons would be free”, and somehow these two points don’t contradict each other?)
The worst take might be to teach boys if they ask for consent they’ll be a “legend” amongst the girls because she’ll tell all her friends. Or maybe the worse take is the entire chapter about being kind to boys, protecting boys, and if we are nice enough to boys they won’t rape or kill women when they’re older because women will remind them of their kind mothers. Presumably, this means the mothers of rapists are to blame for their actions?
Anyway, if you can overlook these anti feminist and regressive key points repeated in various chapters, Keira Knightley’s piece on childbirth is beautiful and powerful, some of the poetry is enjoyable enough, and some of the pieces on more serious issues, like FGM and period poverty, are valuable and insightful.
Overall, saccharine, reads like angsty teenage spoken word, but is a relatively sweet introduction into liberal feminism.

Brilliant and Thought Provoking
I loved this book and thought it was excellent as an audiobook. It is a collection of essays from different women discussing what feminism means to them. I've never considered myself a feminist, thinking that men often suffered at the expense of women gaining power. However, I now realise this was misguided and everyone should be equal from the beginning and if women didn't have to fight for it then it wouldn't appear that men are suffering. These women don't just talk about women's rights but equality for ALL.
