I really did like the book, I wish It was longer in more details.
The book provides a good algorithm for newer to the field of gender equality and focuses on its biological roots.
I love the referencing to real world scientific research, while keeping the tone narrative supports it with scientific methodology. interesting.
however along all the good things about the book I think the author didn't make a clear conclusion on how the systems for achieving equality between enders should be designed and maybe its my misunderstood and the goal of the book is only focusing on mapping the problem and it wants to have an introduction approach.
I gonna read more by Kingsley Browne to know how she shaped her mind about gender equality concept through years!

Uma visão muito liberal do trabalho e do feminismo. Não discordo de muita da informação, até porque é muito factual, mas discordo da complacência sentida.
Não deixa de ser provocador e é interessante por causa disso mesmo.

I agreed with the majority of this book's ideas, but there was also quite a bit that I found problematic.
