Fortes et flamboyantes !

People often say that females are smaller, less able to lead, and dependent on males for their survival. Yet the animal kingdom tells a very different story and overturns these preconceived ideas. In some species, females stand out for their strength, ingenuity, and authority. Female northern goshawks and leopard seals, for example, are larger than males! And even when they are smaller, female elephants wisely guide their clans, and naked mole-rats organize themselves around a queen, just like bees. And what about Mexican whiptail lizards and nine-banded armadillos, which simply no longer need males to reproduce?

This book shines a spotlight on the heroines of the animal kingdom: powerful, dazzling, and surprising figures who break stereotypes.
