Brilliantly explained science, funny too

I was driving to work with my mouth hanging open in shock, I cried, I learned a ridiculous amount of scientific feminist talking points, and I felt extremely proud of the female animals in this book proving the patriarchal narrative of our sex wrong.

Helping everyone create a more advanced humanity

Fantastic!...Funny, educational and fascinating , Lucy blows away the last cobwebs of paternalistic brain washing to fully reveal the overwhelming evidence that all of us bought up around full spectrum women have always known. Animals and humanity are way more beautifully diverse than traditionally taught. A liberating book for all genders that will hopefully enable females to have even more control over their reproductive choices and evolve a healthier world of better leadership and chances for humankind.

Revelatory

I'm too tired from child rearing and from maintaining my traditional female role to give this the 5 star review it deserves. Everyone should read this, doctors, biologists, naturalists - all of them. Once they've finished it, they should read it again, just so it sinks in.

So eye opening and empowering

This remarkable book challenges outdated thinking that has been accepted without evidence-based studies. It highlights many inspirational scientists who have dedicated their lives to uncovering the true meaning of being female. I've learned so much from this book, much of which was missing from my Zoology degree, but is crucial for understanding how evolution really works. It's exciting to see more studies showing that being female is just as fascinating and important, if not more so, than being male. Being a woman in science is something to be proud of, especially with pioneers like Lucy Cooke leading the way in an increasingly diverse world that needs open-minded thinkers for our planet to thrive.

Bloody Wonderful

What an absolutely incredible book with so many wonderful insights. The topics are varied and in-depth yet not so technical as to be not understood. A brilliant insight into nature and the natural world.

Amazing book

ive listened to this 4 times now and take something new from it each time. Stunningly interesting in the way it daylights the so called cultural pollution of theh science of sexual evolution and gender which has until recently been dominated by studying the males only. Lovely chapter about menopausal animals and.a challenge to the normal narrative around the change and what its evolutionary role is. The book uncovers and challenges the deeply embedded cultural narrative around the passivity of the female in science( ie truth) led studies. read the book and never feel the same about the politics of sex in the animal and human kingdom. A must read.

Glorious!

So good. Well read, entertainment and informative. Couldn't recommend enough. A must read for anyone who wants to look beyond the gender binary and science from a patriarchal perspective.
