Yes! I'm a psychiatrist and learned loads from it - I recommend it all the time to my colleagues!
I agree with the points she made about the medical field (when I myself had heart problems, it was thought to be anxiety and not investigated/recognised as medical until I was admitted to the Coronary Care unit for a week and needed a pacemaker...), but I had already been broadly aware of these issues.
For me the more eye-opening chapter was about town/city planning and how development and transport issues disproportionately negatively affect women (e.g having a "flat rate" bus fare means women are more out of pocket as they often do lots of smaller trips (shopping, care, etc) rather than just to/from work!).
If anyone here is even slightly interested, I'd definitely say to them to pick it up! I "read" the audiobook first but then got a physical copy because I reference it so often! 🤓
