Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
What science has gotten so shamefully wrong about women, and the fight, by both female and male scientists, to rewrite what we thought we knewFor hundreds of years it was common sense: women were the inferior sex. Their bodies were weaker, their minds feebler, their role subservient. No less a scientist than Charles Darwin asserted that women were at a lower stage of evolution, and for decades, scientistsmost of them male, of courseclaimed to find evidence to support this.Whether looking at intelligence or emotion, cognition or behavior, science has continued to tell us that men and women are fundamentally different. Biologists claim that women are better suited to raising families or are, more gently, uniquely empathetic. Men, on the other hand, continue to be described as excelling at tasks that require logic, spatial reasoning, and motor skills. But a huge wave of research is now revealing an alternative version of what we thought we knew. The new woman revealed by this scientific data is as strong, strategic, and smart as anyone else.In Inferior, acclaimed science writer Angela Saini weaves together a fascinatingand sorely necessarynew science of women. As Saini takes readers on a journey to uncover sciences failure to understand women, she finds that were still living with the legacy of an establishment thats just beginning to recover from centuries of entrenched exclusion and prejudice. Sexist assumptions are stubbornly persistent: even in recent years, researchers have insisted that women are choosy and monogamous while men are naturally promiscuous, or that the way mens and womens brains are wired confirms longdiscredited gender stereotypes.As Saini reveals, however, groundbreaking research is finally rediscovering womens bodies and minds. Inferior investigates the gender wars in biology, psychology, and anthropology, and delves into cuttingedge scientific studies to uncover a fascinating new portrait of womens brains, bodies, and role in human evolution.
