Story
Drawing together many histories - of anatomical evolution and city design, of treadmills and labyrinths, of walking clubs and sexual mores - Rebecca Solnit creates a fascinating portrait of the range of possibilities presented by walking. Arguing that the history of walking includes walking for pleasure as well as for political, aesthetic, and social meaning, Solnit focuses on the walkers whose everyday and extreme acts have shaped our culture, from philosophers to poets to mountaineers.

Story
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, treating 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.

wrong narrator for this
The narrator either could not or just did not express any of the personality of the writing. Very odd listening experience.

I would recommend reading the physical book/ ebook
I would highly recommend reading the physical book/ ebook. This audio book is horrible. Rebecca does not have a good recording voice. I'm sure it's fine live, but I have a very hard time listening to it on audio....

I guess it just felt all over the place. It starts out with an anecdote that frames men as the issue but then goes through the author's bibliography, adoration for Virginia Wolfe and personal successes. Tirades on the evils of the IMF and other global systems also appear along with celebrations of feminism and a deluge of hand-picked stats. What was the point of it all?

Excellent narrator and razor sharp writing
The narrator was clear, had a sense of humour, and didn't over-dramatize. The writing was razor sharp, intelligent, and well researched and the narrator's interpretation made it a series repeated of "Aha!" moments. Well worth the time and money spent.

Sorry to the men out there
I’m a woman, and while I don’t doubt the experiences the author had, she is way too critical in the way she categorizes all men. Too hateful and spiteful for me. It spoiled the humour.

not at all what you think it is
I was expecting this to be about guys always explaining things like they know more than everyone and instead it's all about rape and feminism. not my cup of tea. I gave up at the beginning of chapter 3. not sure what men are explaining with a bunch of rape statistics

They do...all the time
I had to read this when in the right headspace. In addition to fuelling your feminist fire, she points out the obvious injustices that still exist. Why don’t we talk about how almost all violence is perpetuated by men? Why don’t we teach boys not to rape women?
This is short and sweet and totally worth the listen for everybody.

was expecting something else
had it for free so can't complain much about it. Was expecting something else like going in depth of male behavior we do: mansplaining, manspreading, manterupting, etc
Some parts of the book feel like it was going around it circles. Maybe that I was missing knowledge. Anyway, I like when things are concise and have possible solutions to known problems
I feel I had more knowledge with Born in 1982

Poor narrator pick
Overall the story was interesting and well written, however the narration was terrible. The tone, enunciation of the words and general intonation did not match the content being read. It made it ver difficult to listen to and I had to turn it off several times and come back to the book at a later date.
