Overview:
Stereotypes of women are as old as time - and as current as still-too-prevalent beliefs in research based on male models. Only in the last few years have scientists in many fields focused on what being female truly means. Their startling conclusions: almost every assumption about women - physically, medically, historically, psychologically - turns out to be untested, unproven, or untrue. Just Like a Woman explains what it means to live in a woman's body, think with a woman's brain, drink in the world with a woman's senses, and react with a woman's sensibility to the stresses and elations of her multiple roles. Refreshingly free of ideology, this meticulously documented book offers a stunningly liberating message that expands our concept of human potential - and will forever change the way every woman views herself.
