Natalie Angier, Houghton Mifflin Co., 1999
This book provides all sorts of information about female biology that should have been taught in every high school health class. Angier’s goal is to help women understand how their bodies work and how they differ physically from men’s bodies.
My favorite part was the last two chapters, which provide well-reasoned arguments against some of the common evolutionary psychology crap claiming that women are evolutionarily adapted to want to be caretakers and to want big strong male mates.
The book is available at the UW Libraries and still in print and available at booksellers like Amazon.com.
