Delusions Of Gender

Description

Are men from Mars and women really from Venus?Gender inequalities are

increasingly defended by citing hard-wired differences between the male and

female brain. That’s why, we’re told, there are so few women in science, so

few men in the laundry room – different brains are just suited to different

things.Not so, argues cognitive neuroscientist Cordelia Fine.Whether you’ve

found yourself frustrated by the gender straitjacket that still constrains

us, or failed to notice it, Fine’s sparkling yet vehement attack on

‘neurosexism’ will be essential reading.
