"We sometimes imagine sexual equality to be a modern invention, a product of our enlightened, liberal societies. In actual fact, anthropologists have long known that the way women are treated throughout the world wasn’t always like this." - Angela Saini (Inferior, chapter 5)
This book is just absolutely amazing! Super accessible while also being fact heavy, it is the perfect blend of science, history and feminism; which is exactly what I want from any book! I do still think that you should read it with a pinch of salt, like how you should with every nonfiction book, but Angela Saini really has a fantastic writing style and I wish more pop science authors would write like her because reading this book was addicting.
I learned so much from this book alone and I think everyone should read this, not just feminists (although I do think that this is also another must-read feminist book in my opinion) but literally everyone, this book will make you re-think a lot about what many news articles might have mislead you to think about the biology, history, and just overall science of women. This book is superior, in my opinion, and it deserves its high ratings for me.
