Woman: An Intimate Geography Paperback - 2014
by Natalie Angier
A new and updated edition of Natalie Angier's best-selling tour of the female body, published for its fifteen-year anniversary. ph, brings us characters from a lesser-explored Jewish cultural context.
Summary
In Woman, Angier shows how cultural biases have influenced evolutionary psychology and led to dubious conclusions about “female nature,” such as the idea that women are innately monogamous while men are philanderers. But she doesn’t just point fingers; with enlightened subversiveness, she offers a joyful, fresh vision of womanhood. Woman is an essential read for anyone interested in how biology affects who we are—as women, as men, and as human beings.

A New York Times notable book
One knows early on one is reading a classic a text so necessary and abundant and true that all efforts of its kind, for decades before and after it, will be measured by it. Thomas Lynch, Los Angeles Times
After fifteen years in print, Woman remains an essential guide to everything from organs to orgasms and hormones to hysterectomies. With her characteristic clarity, insight, and sheer exuberance of language, bestselling author Natalie Angier cuts through the still prevalent myths and misinformation surrounding the female body, that most enigmatic of evolutionary masterpieces. Woman is a witty and assured narrative tour de force with a reliable grasp of science.
Updated throughout and with a new introduction bringing readers up to date on the latest science in evolutionary psychology and hormone replacement therapy, this new edition of Woman reinvigorates Angier s joyful vision of womanhood.
Ultimately, this grand tour of the female body provides a new vision of the role of women in the history of our species. Washington Post
