THE FEMALE BRAIN

I'm a feminist, and I really liked this book. The author dares to say that female and male brains are different, which helps to expand the field of brain research. For decades, scientists tested drugs on male subjects only, assuming that they would have the same reactions in women. This is like having “a jury of your peers” filled with twelve white men. I'm not sure if I would've liked this book in my twenties, but since then, my ideas about feminism aren't as strict. That said, there were some generalizations about women in the book that annoyed me, but I guess I assumed that with a book like this, you have to make some generalizations about the majority of women's brains.
