Summary of Lisa Mosconi's The XX Brain

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The origins of behavioral differences between men and women have been a topic of conversation since ancient history. However, the idea that the brain could be the principal means by which males and females behave differently is modern, having been accepted only in the 1960s.

#2 Hormones are powerful chemicals that affect every part of our bodies and brains, and they influence our health in many ways. They keep our brains active and alert, and they protect our nerve cells from harm.

#3 There are differences between men’s and women’s brains, and these differences are particularly evident in the brain’s limbic system, which is responsible for generating the motivations and emotions that govern parental instincts.

#4 There is no scientific basis for the gender gap in equality, wages, or opportunities. Men and women are equally capable of doing everything, but we may arrive at our conclusions by different neural routes.
