- catalog abstract ""What motivates them? What drives perfectly sane middle-class women away from husbands and home and a nice steady career job to study unruly primates in damp, dangerous, uncomfortable, unforgiving environments?" "When Louis Leakey first sent Jane Goodall out to the Gombe reserve in Tanzania to study the chimpanzees, he could little have suspected a craze which would eventually see a field of science in which women outnumber men. Beauty and the Beasts is the first book to take an overview of the numerous women who have followed Leakey's trimates into the world of primatology and to ask the question: was Louis Leakey right?" "Carole Jahme examines both the stereotypical candidate - white, amateur, attractive, middle-class, childless - and her university-trained counterpart. In erudite and entertaining prose she explores the significance of their scientific discoveries and the prejudices encountered by these pioneering women."--Jacket.".
