Summary

For generations, we've been taught that women and men are essentially very different, and that there are biological reasons for this. Is it so? The answer, according to this groundbreaking examination of the intersections of gender, sex, and the brain, is ‘no.’ Based on the latest scientific evidence, this enlightening book shakes the belief that there are female and male brains, expounding instead that each human brain is a unique mosaic of male and female traits. In doing so, it allows for a new, fascinating look at the gender binary.
