Do you have a female human brain or a male brain?

Or is that the wrong question?

Reading maps or reading emotions? Barbie or Lego? We reside in a gendered world where we are bombarded with communications about sex and gender. On a daily basis we encounter deeply ingrained beliefs that your sex determines your skills about The Gendered Human brain: The new neuroscience that shatters the myth of the female brain and choices, from toys and colors to career choice and salaries. But exactly what does this constant gendering indicate for our thoughts, decisions and behaviour? And what does it suggest for our brains?

Drawing on her are a professor of cognitive neuroimaging, Gina Rippon unpacks the stereotypes that bombard us from our earliest occasions and shows how these emails mould our ideas of ourselves as well as shape our brains. Acquiring us back again through generations of sexism, The Gendered Mind reveals how technology continues to be misinterpreted or misused to talk to the wrong questions. Instead of complicated the status quo, we remain bound by outdated stereotypes and assumptions.

By exploring new, cutting-edge neuroscience, Rippon urges us to go beyond a binary watch of our brains and instead to find out these complex organs as highly individualised, profoundly adaptable, and filled with unbounded potential.

Rigorous, timely and liberating, The Gendered Brain provides large repercussions for women and men, for parents and children, and for how we identify ourselves.
