Since the 1970s, the field of primatology has been characterized by a predominance of women. Against the backdrop of McGoogan’s journey as a field scientist studying wild primates in Belize and Madagascar, Sisters of the Jungle: The Trailblazing Women Who Shaped the Study of Primates explores the stories of the many women who came before her. Intrepid scientists like Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Alison Jolly broke boundaries, made astonishing discoveries, and ultimately shaped the trajectory of an entire scientific discipline.
