As Jurassic beasts roamed the earth, a little weasel-like animal called Morganucodon was making an evolutionary breakthrough in parenting — producing milk to feed her young. Author Cat Bohannon calls this creature Morgie in her 2023 book “Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution.” Bohannon discusses the book, and insights from the evolution of Morgie, ahead of an author event in St. Louis County.

Featuring : CAT BOHANNON, Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human EvolutionYou loved Rachel Gross's VAGINA OBSCURA? Of course you did. Then you MUST join us for this myth-busting, eye-opening landmark account of how humans evolved—answering questions like what IS the female body? How did it come to be? How does this evolution still shapes all our lives today? Some fast facts to whet your appetite: Women live longer than men; women are more likely to get Alzheimer's; girls score better at every academic subject than boys until puberty, when suddenly their scores plummet. What's behind all of this? And why, seriously why, do women have to sweat through our sheets every night when we hit menopause? (asking for me). Bohannon covers the past 200 million years to explain the specific science behind the development of the female sex: “We have to put the female body in the picture,” she writes, “If we don't, it's not just feminism that's compromised. Modern medicine, neurobiology, paleoanthropology, even evolutionary biology all take a hit when we ignore the fact that half of us have breasts.” Which means we are gonna talk about breasts. And blood and fat and vaginas and wombs. Let's face it, the world has focused primarily on the male body for far too long. It's time to dig deep—so join us for book talk, cocktails, and evolutionary science.Episode was recorded live February 27, 2025.Email: peculiar@bschillace.comWebsite: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://brandyschillace.com/peculiar/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://eepurl.com/ixJJ2Y⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/PeculiarBookClub/membership⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@PeculiarBookClub/streams⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@peculiarbookclub.bsky.social⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/groups/peculiarbooksclub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thepeculiarbook

Evolutionshistorien har en blind vinkel: kvindekroppen. Den amerikanske videnskabsforfatter Cat Bohannon fortæller evolutionshistorien på ny og trækker tråde tilbage til vores glemte formødre blandt evolutionsbiologiens mange ”Eva'er”. “Vi skal have kvindekroppen tilbage i billedet. Hvis ikke vi får det, er det ikke kun feminismen, der bliver kompromitteret. Både den moderne lægevidenskab, neurobiologien, palæoantropologien og selv evolutionsbiologien tager skade, når vi ignorerer det faktum, at halvdelen af os har bryster.”  Derfor har Bohannon genskrevet evolutionshistorien og sat kvindekroppen og dens særlige egenskaber i forgrunden.  I stedet for den bibelske Eva sporer Bohannon kvindekroppens historie tilbage til en række evolutionsbiologiske ”Eva'er”.   Fra ‘Morgie', der som det første pattedyr producerede mælk, over det egern-agtige væsen ‘Donna', der var først til at udvikle en livmoder, og frem til de tobenede hominider ‘Ardi' og ‘Lucy', der med tidlige værktøjs- og omsorgsevner lagde grundlaget for Homo Sapiens' mange teknologiske og sociale fremskridt.    Oplev Cat Bohannon på årets Bloom, når hun med videnskabeligt klarsyn og oprørsk humor understreger kvindekønnets evolutionære – og revolutionære – betydning for, hvordan mennesket er endt med at blive planetens dominerende og teknisk mest succesfulde dyreart.

How can women overcome fear and shame around their bodies and embrace the beauty of God's design for sex? Whether from purity culture, other messages, or poor experiences, many women don't see their bodies and sex as good or beautiful. Francie Winslow, host of the podcast “Heaven in Your Home” went through her own struggle with this, and joins Juli to explain how she is learning to embrace the goodness of God's design.   Guest: Francie Winslow   Website: franciewinslow.com Instagram: @franciewinslow   Strong Foundation To Starting Well: Claiming A Healthy Vision For Married Sex Pleasure & Orgasm: Passion & Practicals Of A Wife Receiving Pleasure   Java with Juli: #550 What to Do When Sex is Painful   Java with Juli with Dr. Juli Slattery – Christian Discussions on Marriage, Sex and Singleness.

There is a historical lack of research on the female body—and this has hurt women, men, everyone. But now, there is some fascinating research on the female body, which Cat Bohannon, PhD, shares today. (Bohannon is the New York Times–bestselling author of Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution.) For example, Bohannon explains why the fat around our butts and hips is quite special, and how women tend to metabolize painkillers differently than men. She breaks down the evolutionary origins of breast size and shape, and she debunks the myth that men are much larger than women. We talk about why women tend to heal better and live longer than men. And what's really at stake for our health and lives when it comes to understanding sex differences. For the show notes and more on Cat Bohannon, head over to my Substack.

Did you know that years of dieting could be sabotaging your metabolism? Let's unpack why this happens and, more importantly, how you can rebuild your metabolism for better energy and better health!  The Diet Trap For decades, diet culture has pressured women to pursue unrealistic body standards. From cabbage soup diets to extreme calorie restriction, the message has been clear: smaller is better. But here's the thing—this is not true, and it's certainly not good for your metabolism.  When you restrict calories or cut out entire food groups, your metabolism adapts. It slows down to conserve energy because your body perceives these restrictions as a stressor. Over time, this makes it harder to lose weight, creates hormonal imbalances, and depletes your energy stores. Why the Female Body is Different Here's something diet culture ignores: the female body is designed to store fat as a survival mechanism. Fat is essential for hormone regulation, fertility, and overall health. When you drastically cut calories or follow extreme diets, your body clings to fat reserves even harder. It's not you—it's biology. On top of that, factors like stress, lack of sleep, medications, and birth control can further impact your metabolism. Add in chronic dieting, and the result is often a sluggish metabolic rate, nutrient deficiencies, and burnout. The Metabolism You Want The good news? You don't have to stay stuck in this cycle. The key to a healthy metabolism is fueling your body—not depriving it. It's about giving your body the nutrients, rest, and movement it needs to function optimally. Protein is Your Friend: Start your day with a protein-rich breakfast to support muscle repair and metabolism. Prioritize Sleep: Growth hormone, essential for metabolic function, is released during deep sleep. Manage Stress: High cortisol levels can wreak havoc on your metabolism. Build stress-reducing habits into your day. Fuel Strategically: Eating enough calories and the right balance of nutrients keeps your metabolic “fire” burning. Ready for a Reset? If you're ready to break free from the dieting hamster wheel and build a metabolism that works for you, I'm inviting you to join my FREE 5-Day Metabolism Reset Challenge. In just five days, you'll learn how to: Fuel your body for better energy. Improve your digestion. Build habits for long-term metabolic health. Plus, we'll be giving away prizes like DUTCH hormone tests, metabolism-supporting tinctures, and dry brushes to kickstart your journey. This is a no-pressure, supportive challenge designed to help you feel better, fast. Whether you're looking for a reset or just some practical tips, this challenge is the perfect place to start.

Breasts, clitoris, hymen, and womb. Across history, these body parts have told women who they are and what they should do.

Did you know that menopause affects over half the population and costs companies billions in lost productivity each year? And yet, it's still one of the most overlooked issues in the workplace. Well, today's episode focuses on the impact of menopause on the workforce.I share my experience with a tech company's absurd mishandling of women's health, where a session titled "Navigating the Uniqueness of the Female Body" (and no, I'm not kidding!) was beyond offensive. I'll share some shocking statistics on menopause and its symptoms, which can last up to - get this - 20 years! Additionally, my guest, Tamsen Fadal, a former journalist turned menopause advocate, recounts a personal story about collapsing in the newsroom due to her symptoms, which led her to focus on raising awareness about menopause. Tamsen is about to launch a documentary called The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause, and continually advocates for better workplace education and support for women experiencing menopause. Tamsen stresses the need for companies to address menopause and highlights organizations that are making progress in this area. She emphasizes that better education and treatment can improve both employee well-being and workplace productivity. Whether you're experiencing menopause, know someone who is, or just want to create a more supportive work environment, this conversation is for you. Tune in to learn how you can be part of the change.“As long as we know what to expect, and you're not surprised or sideswiped by something, it just makes it a little bit easier—even if the symptoms are not.” -Tamsen FadalIn This Episode:-The definition of perimenopause, menopause, and its symptoms-The impact of menopause symptoms on women and workplaces-Menopause-related productivity losses and healthcare costs-How companies benefit from addressing menopause-Education and support for women experiencing menopause-Why raising menopause awareness is crucial -How women should handle aging in the workplaceAnd much more!Resource Used in the Episode:-Economic Impact of Menopause: Individual and Collective Costs: https://www.aarp.org/pri/topics/work-finances-retirement/employers-workforce/menopause-workplace/ Connect with Tamsen Fadal:-Website: https://www.tamsenfadal.com/-LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamsenfadal/ -Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tamsenfadal/Connect with Maureen Clough:-Instagram: @itgetslateearly - https://www.instagram.com/itgetslateearly/-YouTube: @itgetslateearly - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGrHwk-y7ERaq7bCSjZYf1A?sub_confirmation=1-Website:

Is it from a woman's point of view?" – Wendy Sanford "We were a group of white middle-class women. Our book said it was for all women, but the critiques taught us otherwise, and that was a real wake-up call." – Wendy Sanford. "Each time we redid the book, we widened the understanding of who ‘we' meant." – Wendy Sanford.

Fat's Toll on the Female Body

Cat and Dax talk about why women are often seen as having more anxiety, how important females are to the success of a society, and why men have difficulties hearing women's voices.

Liv speaks with Professor Helen King about her new book Immaculate Forms, and the history of the female body. From the ancient world (women were wet and spongy) to the more modern (Man Discovers Clitoris). Plus, Artemis and periods. CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault.

According to Healthline.com, the human body has around 5 million hair follicles. Now you might not have guessed, but that figure is around the same for both men and women. And our body hair has a lot of important functions. It helps regulate body temperature by keeping us warm or retaining sweat to cool us down. It also protects sensitive parts of our bodies from infection, like the eyes and genitals. And yet, women often go to great lengths to have their body hair removed, and there's a taboo around having hairy armpits or other body parts. It's in no small part down to gendered social control. Is body hair removal a recent development? When did that become the case? What about pubic hair? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

In this episode my guest is Hélène Guillaume, founder and CEO of the award winning company, Wild AI.Hélène shares her personal journey as an athlete and how she discovered the impact of hormonal fluctuations on her performance. Her experience as an elite athlete drove her to start Wild AI to help women optimize their training schedules based on their menstrual cycle and enhance their performance.Hélène and Wild AI are helping close the gender data gap and are leaders in fighting gender bias inequality.Listen to this episode to learn about how insanely powerful the female body is and how Wild AI can help women deeply understand their bodies.Key Takeaways:* Understanding and training with the female reproductive cycle can optimize performance and reduce negative symptoms.* There is a gender data gap in medical research and more studies need to include women to address their specific health needs.* The gender data gap in medical research leads to biased and irrelevant outcomes for women's health.* Birth control methods impact the body differently and understanding these effects can help women make informed choices.* Embracing the natural changes in the female body can lead to empowerment and improved overall well-being. * Misconceptions and myths about women's health, nutrition, and fitness need to be corrected.* There is a lack of education and support for postpartum women and more research is needed in this area.* Advancements in technology and personalized health insights have the potential to greatly benefit women's health.

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is the author, poet, scholar, and scientific researcher Cat Bohannon. Now, while this episode is not going to be centred totally on art, it is going to be looking closely at women's bodies – and what might have contributed to the lack of knowledge about women in wider history. Because Cat Bohannon is renowned for her acclaimed book “Eve” that revolutionises our understanding of the female human body, and how a focus on male subjects in science has left women “under-studied and under-cared for”. Spanning from the Jurassic period to the present day, Eve hones in on the impact of what females' exclusion from scientific research has done for our bodies (and world). Through chapters headed under womb, foot, brain, or milk, it recasts the traditional story of evolutionary biology, by placing women at the centre. Because, as she argues, it's not just a case of sexism – that we don't know enough about the female body – it's because the data actually isn't there. For example, general anaesthetics weren't tested on women until 1999. I'm interested in getting to the root of these issues, as well as speaking about how art might correspond to this. Because as well as being a holder of a PhD from Columbia University in the evolution of narrative and cognition, Bohannon has published widely, including essays and poems for Science Magazine and the Georgia Review. And I can't wait to find out more. -- Cat's book: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/446844/eve-by-bohannon-cat/9781529156171 https://www.waterstones.com/book/eve/cat-bohannon/9781529151237 -- THIS EPISODE IS GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED BY THE LEVETT COLLECTION: https://www.famm.com/en/ https://www.instagram.com/famm_mougins // https://www.merrellpublishers.com/9781858947037 Follow us: Katy Hessel: @thegreatwomenartists / @katy.hessel Sound editing by Nada Smiljanic Music by Ben Wetherfield

The functions of the female body have always been shroud in mysteries, and often myths and misconceptions. As our understanding of our own anatomy and physiology evolves we still have such big questions such as why do women go through menopause? Why do we have periods unlike other mammals? What's the function of the female… Continue reading WWR 258: The Mysteries of the Female Body with Dr Deena Emera“ The post WWR 258: The Mysteries of the Female Body with Dr Deena Emera“ appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

Ep 102 Description:  “Your body belongs to you. Your body isn't for someone else's pleasure. It's not an ornament.” —Christine Mason The female body undergoes profound changes during pregnancy and childbirth. As the womb expands to nurture new life, the body's shape and functions are transformed. However, societal attitudes have not always celebrated these transformations, with pregnant and postpartum women facing criticism and shame regarding their changing forms. In recent years, there has been a growing movement to reclaim the potent beauty and power of the birthing body. By reframing stretch marks as badges of motherhood and embracing the sensuality of breastfeeding, women are rediscovering the dignity and strength inherent to their reproductive experiences. Hence, in this episode we are shifting the focus on loving and valuing the changing bodies of pregnant and postpartum women. This week, Debra sits with Christine Mason, a mother, author, and founder of Rosebud Woman . Christine emphasizes the power of reconnecting with one's inner radiance to overcome societal objectification and fully step into the beauty and power of female reproduction. Tune in as Debra and Christine discuss the challenges with body image, ways to heal trauma and reconnect with one's body, practical tips and perspectives on caring for the physical changes of pregnancy and childbirth, as well as honoring the transformative role of motherhood.    If you are a doula, nurse, midwife, or birth worker who would like to expand your practice with pleasure and Orgasmic Birth - Learn more at https://www.orgasmicbirth.com/orgasmic-birth-practitioner-training/    Debra also has a class on positively preparing for a cesarean or a VBAC vaginal birth after cesarean https://orgasmicbirth.thinkific.com/courses/cesarean-vbac  Connect with Debra!

“The bulk of my work comes out of this place of the explosive female body and really meditating on that and looking at that. The body has always been my deepest interest, and painting the figure, and that has been the case for many, many years. And so when I started to think about family building and my reproductive health and my fertility, just even the inkling of those thoughts, the work started to become infused with these images of motherhood of the reproductive female body. Because it represents so much: there's so much richness there for me in terms of how we talk about the female body, in terms of its messiness and its inability to be contained.” - Alexandra CarterWelcome back to Postpartum Production!

Do you ever feel like you don't have all the answers and information you need around your very own body? Are there beliefs or “facts” you might have learned that maybe aren't actually centered around truth or science? Perhaps you've entered various seasons of your life as a female (menstruation, fertility, childbirth, hormone fluctuation, perimenopause, menopause) where you've felt like your concerns were dismissed or you weren't given the tools, knowledge or treatment to help you navigate these season as well as you'd like. Whether you avidly seek knowledge about your body, or you're bumping up against walls in what has been, historically, a lopsided research culture where male health has been more highly prioritized, we've got a guest today who is determined to correct that inequity with scienfitic and experiential information, research and active destigmatization. Dr. Jen Gunter is an obsetritican gynecologist and a bestselling author (The Vagina Bible, The Menopause Manifesto) who has made it her goal in life to “fix the internet” regarding information about women's bodies and correcting the misinformation that runs rampant there; long held myths that cause fear, stress and even shame around our female phsyiology. Dr. Gunter debunks common misconceptions around our periods, our hymens (fyi, it's not a “freshness” seal), synthetic hormones, menopause symptoms and more. Bottom line: you deserve to know about your body, and this conversation opens the door to finding true and accurate information that will help dismiss the fears you may have around all the seasons of your female health experience.   * * * Thought-Provoking Quotes: “I think the average high schooler probably graduates knowing more about frog biology than human biology. No shade to animal physiology. It's super important. However, high school should also be teaching you more practical information as well as things to advance you academically.” - Dr. Jen Gunter “People deserve to know how their body works.” - Dr. Jen Gunter “If you don't have that foundation of the menstrual cycle and you don't know how it all works, it's harder to understand what's going on with menopause” - Dr. Jen Gunter “Basically, menopause is puberty in reverse." - Dr. Jen Gunter “If you could only do one intervention for a healthy menopause, it would not be estrogen. It would be exercise. Exercise touches every domain of every single thing that's going to be on your bothersome list. Exercise improves sleep, exercise reduces dementia. Exercise reduces heart disease. The only thing that it doesn't help is hot flashes.” - Dr. Jen Gunter “Every single hormone that you get, whether it's a pharmaceutical estrogen or it's something from a compounding pharmacy, comes from the exact same plant. It's all from the same source.” - Dr. Jen Gunter “You're more than your menstrual cycle. You're awesome whether you have estrogen or not. It has nothing to do with your awesomeness. It really doesn't.” - Dr. Jen Gunter Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Guardian Article about Dr. Jen Gunter The Vagina Bible by Dr. Jen Gunter Menopause Manifesto by Dr. Jen Gunter Jensplaining - Dr. Jen Gunter's Amazon Prime Series 2020 NAMS Media Award from the North American Menopause Society Recipients “Why can't we talk about periods” - Dr. Jen Gunters 2020 Ted Talk Body Stuff with Dr. Jen Gunter Blood: The Science, Medicine, and Mythology of Menstruation by Dr. Jen Gunter The Vajenda - Dr. Jen Gunter's Substack Newsletter  The Preemie Primer: A Complete Guide for Parents of Premature Babies--from Birth through the Toddler Years and Beyond by Dr. Jen Gunter  Ensure Meal Replacement Guest's Links: Dr. Gunter's Website Dr. Gunter's Twitter Dr. Gunter's Facebook Dr. Gunter's Instagram Connect with Jen!

In biological and medical research, the majority of studies that use mice are only using males. Why? Because female mammals' estrous, or sexual, cycle means that their bodies are more “messy” than their male counterparts.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the anchoress and mystic who, in the late fourteenth century, wrote about her visions of Christ suffering, in a work since known as Revelations of Divine Love. She is probably the first named woman writer in English, even if questions about her name and life remain open. Her account is an exploration of the meaning of her visions and is vivid and bold, both in its imagery and theology. From her confined cell in a Norwich parish church, in a land beset with plague, she dealt with the nature of sin and with the feminine side of God, and shared the message she received that God is love and, famously, that all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well.
