Pink Brain, Blue Brain: How Small Differences Grow into Troublesome Gaps- and What We Can Do About It

we’ve come to accept that boys can’t focus in the classroom and girls are obsessed with relationships. In Pink Brain, Blue Brain, neuroscientist Lise Eliot turns this thinking on its head. Presenting the latest science from birth to puberty, Eliot zeroes in on the precise differences between boys and girls, reining in harmful stereotypes. She argues convincingly that infant brains are so malleable that what begin as small differences at birth become amplified over time, as parents and teachers—and the culture at large—unwittingly reinforce gender stereotypes.
