About this product
Product Information
A fierce, funny, and revolutionary look at the queens of the animal kingdom Studying zoology made Lucy Cooke feel like a sad freak. Not because she loved spiders or would root around in animal feces: all her friends shared the same curious kinks. The problem was her sex. Being female meant she was, by nature, a loser. Since Charles Darwin, evolutionary biologists have been convinced that the males of the animal kingdom are the interesting ones--dominating and promiscuous, while females are dull, passive, and devoted. In Bitch , Cooke tells a new story. Whether investigating same-sex female albatross couples that raise chicks, murderous mother meerkats, or the titanic battle of the sexes waged by ducks, Cooke shows us a new evolutionary biology, one where females can be as dynamic as any male. This isn't your grandfather's evolutionary biology. It's more inclusive, truer to life, and, simply, more fun.

Reviews
"A dazzling, funny and elegantly angry demolition of our preconceptions about female behaviour and sex in the animal kingdom... Bitch is a blast. I read it, my jaw sagging in astonishment, jotting down favourite parts to send to friends and reading out snippets gleefully..." -- The Observer, "Humorous, absorbing, sometimes shocking, and bound to be a conversation starter." -- BBC Wildlife Magazine, "From the dominant female lemurs of Madagascar, and the murderous meerkat mothers of the Kalahari, to female fruit flies that play the field, Cooke introduces dozens of animals whose natural behaviour preferences dismantle the hoary old stereotypes."-- The Bookseller, "Mr. Darwin, your time is up. This is the evolutionary reboot us bitches have been waiting for."-- Sue Perkins, comedian, "Lucy Cooke blows two centuries of sexist myths right out of biology. Prepare to learn a lot -- and laugh out loud. A beautifully written, very funny and deeply important book." -- Alice Roberts, author of Evolution, "A bold and gripping takedown of the sexist mythology baked into biology ... Full of marvellous surprises."-- Guardian (UK), "Lucy Cooke is brilliant, pedigreed, fearless, and flat-out hilarious . . . Bitch is astonishing, wildly entertaining, and massively important." -- Mary Roach, "From bondage-loving spiders to "Scrooge-like" lobsters who save their sperm for a female who's "worth it", Bitch lifts the lid on kinky creatures."-- Daily Mail (UK), "A triumphant upending of the outworn sexist mythology that pervades our scientific perception of all animals--including ourselves. With intelligence and great wit, Bitch explores the dynamic, diverse ways of being female on an ever-evolving planet. This is a joyous revolution."-- Lyanda Lynn Haupt, author of Rooted and Mozart's Starling, "A Book That Is Tearing Down the Stereotypes and the Biases. Absolutely Fascinating."-- Woman's Hour
