Inferior: how science got women wrong – and the new research that’s rewriting the story

Cover of Inferior by Angela Saini

An exploration of research into gender differences

In Inferior, journalist Angela Saini, who has a master’s degree in engineering from the University of Oxford, UK, examines scientific studies on the differences between men and women. She dives into the research and questions their design as well as their conclusions, unflinchingly tackling everything from female genital mutilation to the menopause and sex drive. Saini uncovers a lot of questionable science, unashamed misogyny and previously ignored studies.
