The groundbreaking New York Times bestseller is now adapted for young
adults! This is the 200-million-year story of how the female body
gave rise to the human species and forever shaped life on Earth and
what that means for us in the future. Why do women live longer than
men? Why do girls score better at every academic subject than boys
until puberty, when suddenly their scores plummet? Is the female brain
"wired differently?" These questions and common debates around
scientific claims are thoughtfully examined in this adaptation perfect
for young people. This brand-new adaptation is a friendly, funny, and
engaging read. It explores teen related topics such as mental health
and the biology behind it, including insights on how adolescent brains
are going through all kinds of changes, and shifting hormones. Author
Cat Bohannon explains the roots of sexism and shows how, though it may
have even served some evolutionary purpose long ago, it no longer
serves us today, and it’s high time we leave it in the past. Filled
with amazing stories of both past and present, Eve will delight any
young reader looking to understand the body—its amazing history, its
wondrous capability, its oddities and mysteries, and its relevance to
so many issues captivating contemporary thought and discussion.
