A revolution has been brewing in zoology and evolutionary biology.
What does it mean to be female? Mother, carer, the weaker sex? Think again
In the last few decades, a revolution has been brewing in zoology and evolutionary biologyLucy Cooke introduces us to a riotous cast of animals, and the scientists studying them, that are redefining the female of the species
Meet the female lemurs of Madagascar, our ancient primate cousins that dominate the males of their species physically and politically
Or female albatross couples, hooking up together to raise their chicks in Hawaii
Or the meerkat mothers of the Kalahari Desert-the most murderous mammals on the planet
The bitches in Lucy's book Bitch overturn outdated binary expectations of bodies, brains, biology and behaviourBitch will change how you think-about sex, sexual identity, and sexuality in animals and also the very forces that shape evolution
