Eve: 1

Product Information

If this tableau is newly familiar, it may be because Greta Gerwig restaged it in “Barbie,” imagining the moment with a doll instead of a weapon. Longlisted for the Not the Booker Prize and described by Waterstones as "an exciting new voice in crime fiction", Eve’s debut novel The Waiting Rooms, set in the aftermath of an antibiotic resistance crisis, was shortlisted for the Bridport Prize First Novel Award and was selected as a Book of the Month by Eric Brown in The Guardian who compared her writing to Michael Crichton’s. Eve is an endless source of dinner-party trivia, much of it inappropriate for actual dinner parties…. Our capacity for learning and innovating in language is innate, but nevertheless, for the largest gains in intergenerational communication to persist over time, each generation has to pass language on to the next with careful effort, interactive learning, and guided development. In the introduction, Cat Bohannon came across as quite angry with Ridley Scott until I read the accompanying footnote.

She does a reasonably good job of distinguishing sex and gender, although I don't think she gave a full description of the myriad ways in which "biological sex" reflects congruence among the distributions of many traits. But Bohannon uses everything from the brain’s patterns of learning to mothers’ ability to speak in infant-friendly tones to make the case that language was invented between baby and caretaker.This is the novel that gives Teha'amana a voice; one that travels with the myths and legends of the island, across history and asks to be heard. As we’ve increasingly learned, female bodies aren’t just male bodies with “extra stuff ” (fat, breasts, uteri). Her work over the last six years has focused on law and policy governing sexual and reproductive health, rights, and technologies. It is a tremendous piece of writing that I don't always agree with but I'm so glad that I have read. This audiobook edition contains a downloadable PDF of illustrations that can be viewed on any MAC or PC device.

And this is her first book, though she has apparently written a lot of articles for a variety of publications.She is bold when speaking against abortion restrictions, the gender wage gap, sex essentialism…and chastity laws.
