Lucy Cooke

Lucy Cooke is a British zoologist, author, broadcaster, and National Geographic explorer whose irreverent, entertaining science writing challenges everything you thought you knew about the animal kingdom. She studied Zoology at Oxford under Richard Dawkins. Bitch: A Revolutionary Guide to Sex, Evolution and the Female Animal challenges the male-centric view of evolution, revealing how generations of scientists ignored, misunderstood, or downplayed the role of females across the animal kingdom. The book was longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize and was a Sunday Times bestseller. Her earlier book The Truth About Animals won the Royal Society Trivedi Science Book Prize. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers brilliant, irreverent popular science that overturns the sexist myths embedded in our understanding of the natural world.
