“The Female Turn can and should be considered a powerful starting point for evolutionary biologists and other researchers working in the life sciences to start reflecting on the role that values and implicit (gender) bias may play in their own discipline.” (Jacopo Ambrosj, History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences, Vol. 46 (3), 2024)“I really enjoyed reading Ah-King’s book. It is thought provoking, insightful and I highly recommend it.” (Ingo Schlupp, ISBE Newsletter, Vol. 36 (1), 2024)
