I doubt there has been any other book published till now that has compiled the gender data gap corresponding to so many sectors/fields in a single place. The structure of the book is mostly smooth but some chapters do have the tendency to jump around a little bit. One thing I do wanna discuss is the references, the author has provided fairly adequate references but there are still some disparities among data, like The minimum paid parental leave duration in Portugal was downright wrong and there was no reference to it, and some other references just have the surnames of the researchers who have done the study and nothing else. I also did not like that she didn't explain some barely believable points like once she said that the average cleaning staff of hotels lift more than average builders per hour and didn't explain how(the reference was just as useless). I also didn't like that she didn't specify countries most of the time (you just have to guess it's about the USA/UK).
Even if I have some criticism for this book I can't explain how informative and essential this book is. I would gladly recommend it to everyone who is interested in learning more about the gender gap.
