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

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

How has patriarchal culture influenced the understanding of the female field? Why does being a woman mean being a failure? Since the time of Charles Darwin, evolutionary biologists have been convinced that males in the animal kingdom are much more... interesting: they are authoritative and chaotic in their relationships, while females are boring, passive, and loyal. In this book, you will read a new history. By exploring same-sex pairs of female albatrosses that raise chicks, bloodthirsty mother meerkats, or the titanic battle of the sexes that ducks engage in, the author showcases a new evolutionary biology where females can be just as dynamic and successful as any male. This is a cruel, amusing, and revolutionary look at the queens of the animal kingdom that will astonish you with its sensationalism and realism.
