Ep77: Get Furious
In this episode we discuss the book Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado-Pérez. Warning: If you're a female this episode (or rather the information discussed within the book we review) will probably piss you off as much as it did us. If you're a male, hopefully it will piss you off as well. Either way, we hope you like this episode. Thanks for listening!

We start off sharing our worst moments of the past week...moving with cats and a rent the runway dress disaster. Then we ease into some chat about Little Women by Louisa May Alcott before we jump into a review of Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie. This is where things got really fun. Did you know Agatha Christie also wrote romance? We get sidetracked reading titles of her mystery novels and re-imagining them as romance novels. Lastly we give an updated review for Amazing Grass Superfood powder after taking it for the last week. Happy Reading! (and listening!)
