This book is one of the more engaging works I've read recently. I sped through it. It is well-structured, well-written, and provides an interesting look at a complex topic. Saini's Inferior is chiefly about the takes of biology and anthropology on women, from their development as half the human species to their roles in society throughout history and how these roles came to be.

If you are expecting a lot of sociological retort or response to the biological and anthropological arguments discussed in this book, you won't find much. Saini does provide parts of interviews from people with more sociological perspectives and references sociological research on gender differences, but that is not the primary purpose of this book. She also does not claim the book is itself a refutation of all the arguments discussed, but rather, that she intended to give the issues she highlighted a balanced look.

Where balance is concerned, at least regarding the biological and anthropological subjects, I think Saini did a fine job. This book does not solve the matters it discusses entirely, and some of its analyses on certain topics are brief, but I would recommend it to anyone.
