Delusions of Gender includes extensive research and sharp wit
Book review: Delusions of Gender (Icon Books, £14.99), by Cordelia Fine, is extensively researched and excellent at debunking over-simplified theories.

The persistent notion that women are hard-wired for caring, empathising and multitasking whereas men are genetically programmed for logic, competitiveness and reading maps is given short shrift by research scientist Cordelia Fine.

In this bold book she contrasts scientific facts of gender difference with the reductive and foolish stereotypes that masquerade as popular science.
