From the award winning documentarian, TED Talker, and zoologist, Lucky Cooke's latest examination (that's also wryly observed) reveals the not so surprising revelation that the animal kingdom is actually ruled by its queens.

There is humor here, but this is also a seriously ambitious book that aims to make you re-think evolutionary biology as a feminist and inclusive science.

"Cooke charts the rising influence of feminism on the 'phallocracy' of evolutionary biology over the past several decades, arguing for the power of more recent female-led science to, for example, reframe core beliefs about sexual selection, maternal instinct and self-sacrifice, and proclivities for monogamy or nymphomania. In doing so, she introduces us to a marvelous zoetrope of animals-not just primates, but venomous intersex moles, hyenas that give birth through their clitoris, filicidal mother meerkats, and postmenopausal orcas." -The Atlantic
