I highly recommend the audio version of this book. It is read by the author, and she does an excellent job.

"Truth lies in diversity and transparency."
An exceptionally readable, enthusiastically funny, and necessary expansion on the "blinkered science" that has misrepresented the female of the species. From the aggressively dominant female hyena on the cover to the peaceful and cooperatively dominant female bonobos, from the murderous matriarchal meercat to the menopausal mensch of a matrilineal orca pod — the animal world is a fascinating spectrum of form and behavior that is far more interesting and diverse than the "sexist mythology" of stereotypes that have been "baked into" our studies of biology.
