Such an amazing read, especially as a woman. My mom and I both read it and took away very different things, in the best way, given that we’re in different stages of life; we both felt seen. This is a project that could only be done justice by a woman, and Kat does just that: advocating for more recognition of the female sex and anatomy in the field of biology, evolution, anthropology, and medicine.

This fascinating, accessible, and often witty book takes a fresh look at human evolution by tracing it from the female perspective. Starting with our earliest mammalian ancestors, author and researcher Bohannon outlines how women’s bodies developed to be both human and uniquely female, and how much of humanity’s evolution was itself spurred by our female ancestors. Despite clocking in at over 400 pages, Evewas a surprisingly quick read – or at least it would have been had I not stopped regularly to read passages out loud, each time proclaiming “I never knew that!”
