What a book! I’ve recognized some concerns that this book might be an attempt to spread some hatred towards men and it does quite the opposite. It’s a great feminist manifesto, if I may say so, with the key message being “(…) the female of the species had been marginalized and misunderstood” and Lucy Cooke is out to change that. The book is full of many interesting “fun facts” I’ll throw out at the next get-together and with much food for thought sprinkled in. I enjoyed Cookes writing style, that managed to add in some entertaining phrases, irony and sarcasm, so the book didn’t turn into a dry book one has to have a science degree for, in order to be able to read the book, whilst still being able to topple serious topics. Also: if you read about the pig farmers and aren’t vegan -what are you doing??? “BITCH - What does it mean to be female?” -which is already very provocative title to start with- gives me, a future scientist and devout feminist, a lot of hope and strength for a better future in STEM. I’ll end the review with my favorite part of the whole book, where she talks about bonobos, which might be more important now than ever: “(…) males are not genetically programmed to aggressively dominate females. (…) The key ingredient for female empowerment is the strength of sisterhood, (…) to overthrow an oppressive patriarchy and foster a more egalitarian society. (…) if you behave with unrelated females as if they are your sisters, you can gain power”.
