In her thought-provoking book, Eugenia Cheng explores how teamwork and collaboration are central to scientific and mathematical achievements, challenging the myth of the lone genius often associated with figures like Einstein. She examines how gender stereotypes have shaped perceptions of intellectual work and proposes a new framework that emphasizes character and collaboration over gendered ideas of genius. By rethinking traditional views on thinking and intellectual success, Cheng offers insights into creating a more inclusive and equitable world.
