 I really liked the many examples the author used. They showed how bias against women happened in history. They also explained how this bias could happen in a system based on merit or data. This is because the data comes from the past. In the past, there was a lot of bias against women. The examples helped me see this clearly. Even healthcare was skewed for centuries by assuming women are the same as men just with different reproductive organs. Even Apple watch was launched without any period tracking functionality.
