Sexing the Brain (Maps of the Mind)

In Sexing the Brain , Lesley Rogers explores the science of sex differences in brain and behavior. She shows how, in each age, scientific claims about sex and gender differences have reflected the culture of the time. Although the conviction has spread that genetics can explain everything, the author brings to light the role of culture and environment in the formation of the behavioral traits, and so provides an important corrective to popular reductionism.
