I read this because I really enjoyed Superior, and I found this book more accessible but I liked it a little less; the second half was a little more anthropology than biology which was nice but ultimately I felt like undermined the arguments a little.

I appreciate the digging, the care, the facts balanced with the urgency and call to action.

Interesting topic, but I liked the scope of the topic and writing style in Invisible Women a bit more. I might write a longer review later.

I enjoyed this book. It was a good look into how science has addressed sex differences in the past- often scientists unabashedly have an agenda, and even when that's absent there are ingrained biased which may affect their results. I liked that the author interviewed many scientists rather than just citing their works- they were able to give their thoughts, opinions, and conclusions in their own words and respond to the feedback they've received about their work. This struck me as similar to the book Eve's conclusions on sex differences, but dove deeper into the past and into the minds of modern scientists in the field.
