What does it mean to be female? Mother, carer, the weaker sex? Think again. In the last few decades a revolution has been brewing in zoology and evolutionary biology. Lucy Cooke introduces us to a riotous cast of animals, and the scientists studying them, that are redefining the female of the species. Meet the female lemurs of Madagascar, our ancient primate cousins that dominate the males of their species physically and politically. Or female albatross couples, hooking up together to raise their chicks in Hawaii.

History is full of strange animal stories, invented by the brightest and most influential, from Aristotle to Disney, and they reveal as much about us and the things we believe as they do about the animals they misrepresent.

Award-winning broadcaster, best-selling author and zoologist Lucy Cooke has produced and presented numerous natural history shows on TV and radio, and has been tipped by The Times as 'the next David Attenborough'. In this BBC Radio 4 series, first broadcast under the title The Power Of..., she delves into the animal kingdom, exploring what gives certain species the evolutionary edge over their rivals.

Jax and Winter pursue the mysterious body snatcher while dealing with their increasingly complicated relationship.

Winter would do anything for the young man of the house, and that includes defending him from a cruel, manipulative borderline sociopathic blonde.

Lacking any other option and clearly incapable of doing nothing, Winter sets out to distract Jackson from his evil girlfriend. With the help of her best friend Molly, Winter devises a simple plan, with the perfect bait—two luscious older women.
