Delusions of Gender: How Our Minds, Society, and Neurosexism Create Difference by Cordelia Fine

funny informative medium-paced

4.5

This is an incredibly researched book that takes a deep dive into the claim that there are “male brains” and “female brains” that have immutable consequences on the behaviors of their owners. She does a great job of showing how environmental conditions (especially society) can impact how people’s brains operate and even the wiring of said brains. I would love to give this book five stars but Fine seems to touch very little on gender nonconformity and same sex parenting, two areas that seem like they would provide helpful insights in the areas of gender and child socialization. Otherwise an eye opening book on gender ‘difference.’
