Description
The Gendered Brain: A New Perspective on Neuroscience and Sex. Gina Rippon's groundbreaking work challenges the long-held assumption that our brains are inherently linked to our sex. Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, she reveals how societal messages about sex and gender shape our thoughts, decisions, and behaviour from a young age. From toys and colours to career choices and salaries, these messages can have profound effects on our brains. Rippon's book offers a liberating alternative to the traditional binary view of the brain, instead highlighting its individualised, adaptable, and highly potential nature. With rigorous research and good humour, she urges us to rethink our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world.
