More about the book
The book challenges the notion of biological determinism by arguing that women's biological and social qualities position them as equals, if not superior, to men. Montagu leverages his expertise in physical anthropology to dismantle stereotypes of women as the "weaker sex." This fifth edition updates his original revolutionary arguments with contemporary data and insights, while a foreword by Susan Sperling situates the work within the broader feminist and anthropological discourse. It serves as a crucial resource for gender studies scholars.
