In "Inferior," science journalist Angela Saini uncovers the false assumptions and ingrained biases that have long shaped the way we think about the differences between men and women. From the dawn of humanity to the latest research, she reveals how sexist attitudes have distorted scientific studies and undermined women's achievements. Saini's incisive reporting challenges the notion that men are the more intelligent, capable sex, exposing the many ways in which gender stereotypes have been used to limit women's potential. Blending fascinating historical anecdotes with cutting-edge science, this eye-opening book dismantles the pernicious myths that have denied women their rightful place.
