What Members Thought

Very good, but possibly marketed to the wrong audience. For teens and adults, this is a very informative book about modern science as well as the three women whose research into primates has made such a difference in our understanding of them. Oddly, though, it was marketed as a book for children.
The story often seems written for adults, though, especially the digressions into Louis Leakey and his infatuations with his female coworkers and assistants.

Really enjoyed this look at the life work of three amazing and dedicated women. Highly recommend it.
