“The E Book: Understanding and Harnessing a Woman’s Molecular Power”


Katie Rose Hejtmanek, Brooklyn College of the City University of New York (CUNY)


“Periods make women weak and irrational.” “Pregnancy puts women in danger.” “Men are more athletic and physically capable than women.” “Men have testosterone and women have estrogen.” One might be familiar with and believe these common phrases about human bodies. But anthropologists Katie Rose Hejtmanek and Cara Ocobock are here to explain why these statements are not only inaccurate but perpetuate dangerous myths about women’s capabilities based on their biology. In this presentation, Hejtmanek discusses her (and Ocobock’s) book-in-progress examining and refuting various myths about estrogen thereby revealing the astounding capacities of women’s bodies. 


Katie Rose Hejtmanek, PhD is full professor of anthropology at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York (CUNY). Cara Ocobock, PhD is associate professor of anthropology at the University of Notre Dame. Hejtmanek and Ocobock have collaborated on several research projects, integrating cultural and biological anthropological insights to understand the human condition. Hejtmanek will present on the co-authored book as she is currently in Georgia on a Fulbright Scholar Award.
