Delusions of Gender

How Our Minds, Society, and Neurosexism Create Difference

“Men are from Mars and women are from Venus” - or so the old saying goes. In this book, author Cordelia Fine examines the evidence behind the old adage about the difference between genders, and digs into the scientific evidence that is often used to back up those claims. Instead of clear-cut biological differences, though, what comes to light it more related to the impact of society on the human mind.

Recommended for: men, women, and those who have yet to make up their minds.
