Why do girls do increasingly well at school, yet men still dominate senior positions in adult life? In this provocative and original book, Susan Pinker examines how fundamental gender differences play out at school and at work.
Susan Pinker is a developmental psychologist and award-winning newspaper columnist who writes about psychology and social science in the Globe and Mail. She has worked as a clinical psychologist for twenty-five years and has taught at McGill University in Montreal, where lives in Montreal with her husband and three children.
"* 'Susan Pinker's wide-ranging look at the nature of the sexes is a highly readable and welcome contribution to this perennial debate.' Professor Simon Baron-Cohen 'The Sexual Paradox has forced me to have a rethink - and a radical one at that. In her intelligent, thoughtful and profoundly important work, Pinker takes us through the facts... Pinker's book should mark a watershed.' Rosie Boycott, Daily Mail 'At last, common sense... This highly readable book on a familiar theme succeeds where others do not, with its potent combination of scientific research, interviews and astute observation. It is a large contribution to an important debate.' Tony Little, Financial Times 'Raises intriguing questions... To me, this book comes as a relief.' Camilla Cavendish, The Times"
