Summary:
"What do straight, married female revelers at an all-women's sex club in LA have in common with nomadic pastoralists in Namibia who bear children by men not their husbands? Like
women
worldwide, they crave sexual variety, novelty, and excitement. In ancient Greek tragedies, Netflix series, tabloids and pop songs,
we
've long portrayed such cheating
women
as dangerous and damaged.
We
love to hate
women
who are
untrue
. But who are they really? And
why
, in this age of female empowerment, do
we
continue to judge them so harshly? In
Untrue
, feminist author and cultural critic Wednesday Martin takes
us
on a bold, fascinating journey to reveal the unexpected evolutionary legacy and social realities that drive female faithlessness, while laying bare our motivations to contain
women
who step out. Blending accessible social
science
and interviews with sex researchers, anthropologists, and real
women
from all walks of life,
Untrue
challenges our deepest assumptions
about
ourselves, monogamy, and the
women
we
think
we
know. From recent data suggesting
women
may struggle more than men with sexual exclusivity to the revolutionary idea that females of many species evolved to be "promiscuous" to Martin's trenchant assertion that female sexual autonomy is the ultimate metric of gender equality,
Untrue
will change the way you think
about
women
and sex forever."--From publisher.
