Why males are not always in charge and why gender roles are distributed very differently in mammals: In Fearless Females, acclaimed author Mario Ludwig, "Germany's expert on all things animal" and "the Peter Wohlleben for animals," tells exciting, spectacular and bizarre stories that shed light on female leadership roles in the animal kingdom.
Nature is full of strong females. They often don't get as much attention as their male counterparts, but they play the most important roles in animal societies. They are formidable hunters and leaders. They are mothers and teachers, passing on the genes and knowledge important for the survival of the family. They have the power to choose and direct sexual selection, because they are the ones who choose the best males to mate with - some species don't even need males at all to reproduce.
