The Second X presents the fundamental principles of biology unique to women in a manner that challenges the traditional approach that considers women to be modified men. By removing the male lens through which women's biology has traditionally been viewed, we encourage readers to question prevailing opinions of women's (and men) capabilities and roles in society.
