Bitches. Sex, Evolution, and Feminism in the Lives of Female Animals

How has patriarchal culture influenced the teaching about the female field? Why does being a woman mean remaining a failure? Since the time of Charles Darwin, evolutionary biologists have been convinced that males in the animal kingdom are far more interesting: they are dominant and chaotic in their relationships, while females are boring, passive, and loyal. In this book, you will read a new story. By exploring same-sex pairs of albatross females raising chicks, bloodthirsty mother meerkats, or the titanic battle of the sexes waged by ducks, the author presents a new evolutionary biology in which females can be just as dynamic and successful as any male. This is a brutal, humorous, and revolutionary look at the queens of the animal kingdom that will astonish you with its sensationalism and realism.
