Wednesday Martin's newest work of non-fiction,\xa0UNTRUE: Why Nearly\xa0Everything\xa0We Believe About Women, Lust, and Adultery is\xa0Wrong\xa0and How the New Science Can Set Us Free\xa0cuts through the junk science and regressive cultural narratives that have shaped our beliefs about female infidelity for centuries, revealing a truth both liberating and disconcerting: women are no more \u201cnaturally monogamous\u201d than men; nor are their libidos shrinking violets. Far from it.\nOffering insights from thirty experts as well as real\xa0women\xa0from all walks of life who refuse monogamy, UNTRUE also analyzes cultural shifts from plow agriculture to polyamory; introduces readers to two important "hidden figures" of\xa0American sex\xa0research; and takes\xa0readers on an immersive, fascinating journey\u2014from the bonobo enclosure at the San Diego Zoo to an exclusive all-female sex party in Manhattan where most of the revelers identify as heterosexual.\xa0UNTRUE\xa0asserts that monogamy is a tighter fit for the fairer sex; that females of many species evolved to be \u201cpromiscuous\u201d; and that female sexual autonomy may be the most meaningful metric of gender equality. Rich with game-changing data and polemical writing, it promises to take us far out of our comfort zone, and may\xa0change\xa0the way you\xa0think\xa0about women and sex forever.\nWednesday Martin, Ph.D is a writer and feminist cultural critic.
