WINNER 2017 ROYAL SOCIETY INSIGHT INVESTMENT SCIENCE BOOKS PRIZE: A landmark new book from Cordelia Fine, author of the hugely influential Delusions of Gender.
Winner of the 2017 Royal Society Insight Investment Science Book Prize, this landmark title brings together evolutionary science, psychology, neuroscience and social history to reveal why it's time to unmake the myth of Testosterone Rex - the myth that squashes hopes of sex equality by telling us that men and women have evolved different natures. 'Fine's entertaining and thoughtful book is a valuable addition to the discussion about gender' Ian Critchley, "Sunday Times"
Endless books claim that the brains of men and women are wired differently. They set out to convince us that women are somehow biologically suited to getting the creases out of clothes while men peruse maps. This brilliant book proves our attitudes to men and women are cultural, not natural. Fine makes the neuroscience clear and provides a wealth of ammunition to debunk the myth that sex inequality is just something we're born with.
