In her book Inferior Angela Saini explores what science has said historically about women and what
it is saying now. She addresses the
history of science saying that women are inferior before moving on to take a
closer look at what science is starting to say about women. She breaks her look up into life stage and
addresses the question at each phase from infancy through menopause.
This is a fascinating book that attempts to take an even handed and unbiased look at women as human and women in contrast to men. I would recommend it.
