Psychologist Cordelia Fine has a great new book out called Delusions of Gender. In it, she debunks a lot of the myths about so-called 'hard-wired' gender differences between boys and girls. Our brains are much more malleable than these myths suggest, and such perceived gender differences are likely either non-existent or the result of social pressures.
Fine wrote a nice summary of her book here, and there are two good reviews of her book here and here. Below is an excerpt from a talk Fine recently gave.
