Fascinating and dynamic! Cooke reveals the way cultural biases and sexism have influenced science, resulting in a surprisingly limited understanding of the actual diversity and importance of the female experience in the animal world. Filled with wild anecdotes and snarky humor, this book makes science fun and filled me with wonder and curiosity! 🎧
pickCan I drop everything and become a zoologist? I think I found my new passion! This book gripped me from start to finish. I‘m left in a state of awe and shock about the animal kingdom. I had never thought about the deep entrenchment of society and culture into the scientific method…how it impacts the questions we think to ask, what we‘re able to see, and the answers we‘re willing to accept. My mind is cracked wide open in the most wonderful way.
pickA really interesting book focused on the female of the species. This explores gender, biology and evolution and is written in an easily accessible style. Learned lots from this and wouldn‘t have minded it being longer!

pickThis was a fascinating listen. Lucy Cooke travels the world and describes various example of animal relationships that emphasize the power and flexibility of female animals. For so long, science has focused on male animals and disregarded examples of female dominance and choice. This book aims to show a different side of the amazing diversity in the animal kingdom than what has been widely acknowledged.

Got to my favorite coffee shop, ordered a latte for here, sat down excited to dig into the tagged book, and my e-reader goes "Not today Bitch" (for due to tagged book I should be reading)

I've had to bail on the tagged audiobook despite being fascinated, I found the author'svoice distracting. I will pick it up again but in book format. It is a remarkable piece of work.
