Mosaico de género

For generations we have been taught that women and men are essentially different. They are more sensitive and emotional; they are more aggressive and sexual. We are told that certain areas of the brain in women are smaller -or larger- than their counterparts in men, or that they produce more -or less- of a certain hormone. This story provides us with a biological explanation of what we encounter in everyday life. But is it true? According to neuroscientist Daphna Joel, no. And in Gender Mosaic she makes a bold argument that disproves the notion of "male" and "female" brains. Based on the latest scientific evidence, Joel and Vikhanski explain that each human brain is a unique mixture or mosaic of "male" and "female" traits, difficult to classify into two tight categories. With important practical implications for the way we understand ourselves and the world around us, Gender Mosaic is a fascinating look at the science of gender, sex, and the brain, and shows us that breaking free from binary stereotypes of Gender can help us reach our full human potential.
