Mother Nature is a groundbreaking book that challenges the conventional views of motherhood, natural selection, and human nature. The author, Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, is an evolutionary biologist and a feminist, who draws on her research on primates and other animals, as well as cross-cultural and historical evidence, to show that mothers are not passive, self-sacrificing, or instinctively nurturing, but active, strategic, and flexible agents who adapt to changing environments and circumstances. Hrdy argues that motherhood is not a fixed trait, but a contingent and variable one, shaped by ecological, social, and cultural factors.
