Sexual Selection on Females: “sexual selection on females is poorly understood. In this virtual issue we revisit this debate & highlight articles that examine reproductive competition among females & its evolutionary consequences for sexual signalling”https://academic.oup.com/beheco/pages/sexual_selection_on_females …
Seems obvs that in any species with long-term pair bonds and mutual mate choice, sexual selection on females will be about as strong as sexual selection on males. Or so I argued in 'Mating Mind'

Surely this is true only to the extent that there is reliably actual monogamy and the pair bond lasts long enough to finish raising children? How often does that happen in a species?

Pretty common in birds, pretty uncommon in primates, apart from prosimians, gibbons, and humans.
