Inferior
What science has gotten so shamefully wrong about women, and the fight, by both female and male scientists, to rewrite what we thought we knew For hundreds of years it was common sense: women were the inferior sex. Their bodies were weaker, their minds feebler, their role subservient. No less a scientist than Charles Darwin asserted that women were at a lower stage of evolution, and for decades, scientists—most of them male, of course—claimed to find evidence to support this. Whether looking at intelligence or emotion, cognition or behavior, science has continued to tell us that men and women are fundamentally different. Biologists claim that women are better suited to raising families o...
Superior
2019 Best-Of Lists: 10 Best Science Books of the Year (Smithsonian Magazine) · Best Science Books of the Year (NPR's Science Friday) · Best Science and Technology Books from 2019” (Library Journal) An astute and timely examination of the re-emergence of scientific research into racial differences. Superior tells the disturbing story of the persistent thread of belief in biological racial differences in the world of science. After the horrors of the Nazi regime in World War II, the mainstream scientific world turned its back on eugenics and the study of racial difference. But a worldwide network of intellectual racists and segregationists quietly founded journals and funded research, prov...
Summary of Angela Saini's Superior
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The rock art at Mulka’s Cave is unique in the region for being so densely packed with images. It is difficult to date, but it is believed that the cave was created by indigenous Australians around 60,000 years ago. #2 The world is not what it seems. It’s a home that is more lived in than any other that I can imagine. Countless generations have absorbed and built upon knowledge of food sources and navigation. #3 Modern humans, according to the out of Africa hypothesis, evolved from a population of people in Africa around 100,000 years ago. They began migrating to the rest of the world around 100,000 years ago and then began adapting in small ways to their own particular environmental conditions. #4 The first Europeans to arrive in Australia were amazed by its original inhabitants, the Aboriginals, who had no agriculture or houses. They were considered to be primitive, a fossilized stage in human evolution, and their days were numbered.
Summary of Angela Saini's Inferior
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The letters I was holding were written by Charles Darwin to a Mrs. Caroline Kennard, who lived in Brookline, a wealthy town outside Boston. She had written to him asking if he believed women were inferior to men intellectually. #2 Darwin believed that women were not just intellectually inferior to men, but they were better off not aspiring to a life beyond their homes. He believed that men had gained the advantage over women over thousands of years of evolution because of the pressure they were under to improve. #3 When Darwin presented his findings about women and their role in society, he reflected how society felt at the time. His attitude reflected a train of scientific thinking that had stretched back at least as far as the Enlightenment, when the spread of reason and rationalism changed the way people thought about the human mind and body. #4 The fight for women’s rights was not easy, and it required a lot of intellectual argumentation. The suffragists, like Caroline Kennard, realized that they could only win on intellectual grounds.

Faith, Gender, and Activism in the Punjab Conflict
Punjab was the arena of one of the first major armed conflicts of post-colonial India. During its deadliest decade, as many as 250,000 people were killed. This book makes an urgent intervention in the history of the conflict, which to date has been characterized by a fixation on sensational violence—or ignored altogether. Mallika Kaur unearths the stories of three people who found themselves at the center of Punjab’s human rights movement: Baljit Kaur, who armed herself with a video camera to record essential evidence of the conflict; Justice Ajit Singh Bains, who became a beloved “people’s judge”; and Inderjit Singh Jaijee, who returned to Punjab to document abuses even as other elites were fleeing. Together, they are credited with saving countless lives. Braiding oral histories, personal snapshots, and primary documents recovered from at-risk archives, Kaur shows that when entire conflicts are marginalized, we miss essential stories: stories of faith, feminist action, and the power of citizen-activists.
