Gender inequalities are increasingly defended by citing hard-wired
differences between the male andfemale 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.
With
sparkling wit and humour, Cordelia Fine attacks this 'neurosexism',
revealing the mind's remarkable plasticity, the substantial influence of
culture on identity, and the malleability of what we consider to
be 'hardwired' difference. This modern classic shows the surprising extent
to which boys and girls, men and women are made - not born.
