Delusions of Gender: How Our Minds, Society, and Neurosexism Create Difference »

Cordelia Fine, the author of A Mind of Its Own and Delusions of Gender, is a writer and Honorary Research Fellow at the Centre for Applied Philosophy & Public Ethics at the University of Melbourne, Australia.

A brilliantly researched and wickedly funny rebuttal of the pseudo-scientific claim that men are from Mars and women are from Venus.

The Washington Post - Wray Herbert

…irreverent and important…Fine offers no original research on the brain or gender; instead, her mission is to demolish the sloppy science being used today to justify gender stereotypes—which she labels "neurosexism." She is no less merciless in attacking "brain scams," her derisive term for the many popular versions of the idea that sex hormones shape the brain, which then shapes behavior and intellectual ability, from mathematics to nurturance.
