I’ve been reading this book over the weekend, and I have found it absolutely shocking.
Not for any of the revelations around the females of various species, but for the fact that it’s taken about 100 years since Darwin for anyone to actually start looking at them! Even longer for findings to be taken seriously.

Followed up by a bit of finding out.
Discipline makes Daring possible.
