Annotation
Gender inequalities are increasingly defended by citing hard-wired differences between the male andfemale brain. That's why, we're told, there are so fewwomen in science, so few men in the laundry room -different brains are just suited to different things. With sparkling wit and humour, Cordelia Fine attacksthis 'neurosexism', revealing the mind's remarkableplasticity, the substantial influence of culture on identity,and the malleability of what we consider to be'hardwired' difference. This modern classic showsthe surprising extent to which boys and girls, men andwomen are made - not born.
