On January 16, 2019, WIB–Greater Montreal hosted a fun and fascinating discussion on “Inferior: How Science Got Women Wrong – andthe New Research That’s Rewriting the Story” from Angela Saini. From intelligence to emotion, for centuries science has told us that menand women are fundamentally different. But this was not the whole story. Shedding light on controversial research and investigating theferocious gender wars in biology, psychology, and anthropology, in her book, Angela Saini took readers on an eye-opening journey touncover how women are being rediscovered. She explored what these revelations meant for us as individuals and as a society, revealingan alternative view of science in which women are included, rather than excluded. Participants brought a copy of the book and askedquestions to kick-start the discussion and moderate the group. Drinks and light fare were provided.
