Lucy Cooke is an award-winning zoologist, broadcaster, filmmaker, and author.
Her latest book Bitch: A Revolutionary Guide to Sex, Evolution and the Female Animal breaks down what she calls "sexist stereotypes" of female animals peddled by the scientific patriarchy for at least 150 years.
From polyamorous chimps, to alpha-female hyenas, menopausal killer whales and lesbian lizards, Lucy dismantles the male scientific bias and discovers female animals are just as promiscuous, competitive, aggressive, dominant and dynamic as males.
