Like women worldwide, they crave sexual variety, novelty, and excitement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In ancient Greek tragedies, Netflix series, tabloids and pop songs, we've long portrayed such cheating women as dangerous and damaged. We love to hate women who are untrue. But who are they really? And why, in this age of female empowerment, do we continue to judge them so harshly? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eUntrue\u003c\/i\u003e, feminist author and cultural critic Wednesday Martin takes us on a bold, fascinating journey to reveal the unexpected evolutionary legacy and social realities that drive female faithlessness, while laying bare our motivations to contain women who step out. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Blending accessible social science and interviews with sex researchers, anthropologists, and real women from all walks of life, \u003ci\u003eUntrue\u003c\/i\u003e challenges our deepest assumptions about ourselves, monogamy, and the women we think we know. From recent data suggesting women may struggle more than men with sexual exclusivity to the revolutionary idea that females of many species evolved to be \"promiscuous\" to Martin's trenchant assertion that female sexual autonomy is the ultimate metric of gender equality, \u003ci\u003eUntrue\u003c\/i\u003e will change the way you think about women and sex forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little, Brown Spark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316463638\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.90d","brand":"Wednesday Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36636281831580,"sku":"9780316463638","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_168b964f-04de-46c2-b650-75f398cca1f1.jpg?v=1603841474","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/untrue-why-nearly-everything-we-believe-about-women-lust-and-infidelity-is-wrong-and-how-the-new-science-can-set-us-free-9780316463638","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
