Gender Mosaic: Beyond the Myth of the Male and Female Brain by Luba Vikhanski, Daphna Joel

4.0

This work highlights the many biases and stereotypes of gender, and how gender inequity is still being touted utilizing brain science. The author argues that there is no such thing as a male or female brain. Mosaic features in every brain allow for a unique mixture of masculine and feminine traits. This work highlights how science has been manipulated and used to serve a social and political agenda of men being the superior sex. I think this work is interesting and discusses gender with the gender binary, but recognizes a future wherein gender is seen as outside of a binary understanding and also recognized gender non-binary community. This work often challenges the notion of innate gender traits based on sex, and in fact notes how stress can alter how traits present themselves. Overall this is a short and engaging read that o would recommend particularly to folks who may be trying to understand neurological traits.
