A woman asks a question as old as humanity: how did men come to rule? She’s a science journalist acclaimed for her fearless investigations, determined to trace patriarchy not as an inevitability but as a story we’ve been told.

In this compulsively readable, brilliantly constructed work, she unspools competing narratives that rewrite our understanding of history, gender, and the truths we take for granted
