In this fact-driven book, Doreen Kimura
provides an intelligible overview of what is known about the neural and
hormonal bases of sex differences in behavior, particularly differences
in cognitive ability. Kimura argues that women and men differ not only
in physical attributes and reproductive function, but also in how they
solve common problems. She offers evidence that the effects of sex
hormones on brain organization occur so early in life that, from the
start, the environment is acting on differently wired brains in girls
and boys. She presents various behavioral, neurological, and
endocrinological studies that shed light on the processes giving rise to
these sex differences in the brain.
