Very fun and informative read, dispute being written and revised about 10 to 20 years ago the language and ideals still hold water in today's advanced climate. Very quick read, I enjoyed every enlightening page.

This book is an accessible look, grounded in reasonably recent science (a lot can change in 15 years, but not enough to invalidate this sort of survey), of women's minds and bodies which makes every effort to avoid male-normative standards of the western scientific tradition and look at women as people who are not simply "men - except..."
Much of what I read was eye-opening. Especially disturbing is the paucity of women in critical health research; in every area most studies look only at men.
It is obvious that every woman should read this book; it is written assuming a female reader and is intended to be deeply empowering. Every man should as well; everyone benefits whenever people are empowered. I will be giving copies to my sons.

This book talks a lot about gender stereotypes specifically about female stereotypes. This book actually was why I decided to write about gender stereotypes in English! It's really inspirational and full of so much information. Women are not less then men, women have been shown as dimmer, fragile, and less. This book explains what being female means. We are strong. Don't feed into stereotypes. I recommend this for women of any age who are passionate about being treated equally.
