Perhaps poking fun at our gender stereotypes and appealing for us to remember that women as a group are not biologically inferior, as anthropologist Ashley Montagu did in his clever 1952 book, The Natural Superiority of Women. When I saw the title of American doctor and geneticist Sharon Moalem’s latest book, The Better Half, recalling that tired phrase used joshingly by husbands – usually while enjoying better jobs, privileges and pay than their wives – I was hoping for something tongue-in-cheek.

Whether they were actually children of Richard and Peggy's is an open question. Other accounts give 3 deaths of children: Levi, Margaret and Mary. The sole death is that of Bayless, one of the two "watchmen". In Pirtle's tale, no child of Richard and Peggy's is actually killed, nor is any Chenoweth for that matter.
