60% scientific rebuttals for sociobiology and 40% feminist literature. I'm unsure how inclusive this book is for feminism as whole since it rarely tackles the ideology in historical sense, but the post modern analytics explained help elucidate the connections feminism of today has with past 50 years of scientific research, specifically gender study and queer theory.
Ruth Bleier, the author, is a neurophysiologist and devout feminist. Her works and the papers she published, after a quick online look, relfects this fact. Her life adherence to feminism is quite evident. And it follows that her book gives off this biased scent in the narritive– which I felt it further obstructed in some parts by its agitation that reasonablely come from the nature of activism – when discussing the 40% litterature and discontinued the objectivity that encircled the critque on sociobiology that spanned the first 4 chapters. Not to undermine her feminist critique which I might describe no less than an eye-opener and courageous, but with another unapologetic hit piece on patriarchy on the shelves, I wonder when we'll have a definitive end to the miscellaneous problem of gender
The content is highly backed up with cited papers, and the layout is curated in a way that facilitates revising with each issue discussed in general in introduction and in detail in its separate section, making the research value extremely immense. The summary section also provides a nice way to consolidate its viewpoint.
I'd love to see this book raise to spotlight of discussion and have its controversial viewpoints earnestly debated.
