Brain Sex: The Real Difference Between Men and Women

by Anne Moir Ph.D., David Jessel

Overview

Why can't a woman be more like a man? What is this thing called "feminine intuition"? Why are men better at reading maps, and women at other people's characters? The answers lie in the basic biological differences between the male and female brain, which, say the authors, make it impossible for the sexes to share equal emotional or intellectual qualities.
