Inferior: How Science Got Women Wrong-and the New Research That’s Rewriting the Story

byAngela Saini

What science has gotten so shamefully wrong about women, and the fight, by both female and male scientists, to rewrite what we thought we knew For hundreds of years it was common sense: women were the inferior sex. Drawing on scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, the narrative gives Inferior a concrete sense of time, place, and consequence. Across the book, how science got women wrong-and the new research that’s rewriting the story becomes a way to examine power, adaptation, responsibility, and change within science and social science.
