Delusions of Gender (eBook, ePUB)

The Real Science Behind Sex Differences

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

‘Impeccably researched and bitingly funny … both sexes should rejoice at [this] vitriolic attack on … sexism masquerading as psychology.’ Evening Standard. ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S TEN MOST IMPORTANT IDEAS BOOKS OF THE LAST DECADE. A vehement attack on the latest pseudo-scientific claims about the differences between the sexes. Sex discrimination is supposedly a distant memory. Yet popular books, magazines and even scientific articles increasingly defend inequalities by citing immutable biological differences between the male and female brain. That’s the reason, we’re told, that there are so few women in science and engineering, so few men in the laundry room - different brains are just better suited to different things. Not so, says Cordelia Fine, and Delusions of Gender, in hugely enjoyable style and superbly researched, shows exactly why.

Rezensionen

'We are all in [Fine's] debt. She has the expertise to check the research references cited by academic as well as popular books on the subject, and she has the clarity and wit to impart her findings to the lay reader. She exposes shockingly lightweight research that is taken seriously and nuanced research that is misreported.' Guardian
