A Mind of Her Own by Anne Campbell

Theories of human evolution portray men as active individuals who shaped future generations by competition, creating a critical gulf between reproductive winners and losers. But what role is left for women within such thinking? Have women just been bit part actors in the whole story of evolution?

In her readable and thought-provoking account, Campbell argues that there are profound differences between women, and that this is both a cause and a consequence of directional selection on female psychology.. Campbell provides an excellent taxonomy of nine classes of feminism This book will stimulate an important debate and ensure that evolution cannot be ignored. Anne Magurran, Times Literary Supplement A Mind of Her Own is a well-organized, well-written, up-to-date textbook on evolutionary psychology, which stands out from the pack. Trends in Cognitive Sciences, Vol 6, No 6
