About This Book
Delusions of Gender explores how our minds, society, and neurosexism create perceived differences between genders. The book critiques the scientific claims that attribute innate disparities to biology, highlighting the role of cultural influences.
Cordelia Fine draws on research to demonstrate how stereotypes and expectations perpetuate gender biases. She argues that much of what is presented as hardwired difference is actually a product of social conditioning and flawed interpretations of neuroscience.

Through accessible analysis, the book invites readers to question prevailing narratives about gender differences. It emphasizes the importance of rigorous science in countering neurosexist myths that limit potential.
