Beschreibung
What does it mean it be female? Mother, carer, the weaker sex? Think again. Our perception of the animal kingdom has been warped by centuries of sexist thinking. Lucy Cooke tells a fresh scientific story about sex, sexual identity and sexuality in animals: one that reveals the power of cultural bias to obscure biological truths. A timely look at how sexist bias polluted evolutionary biology.
