Product Description
Why are women more verbal than men? Why do women remember details of fights that men can’t remember at all? Why do women tend to form deeper bonds with their female friends than men do with their male counterparts? These and other questions have stumped both sexes throughout the ages.
Now, revolutionary neuropsychiatrist Louann Brizendine, M.D., brings together the latest findings to show how the unique structure of the female brain determines how women reckon, what they value, how they communicate, and who they like. Even as doing research as a medical student at Yale and then as a resident and faculty member at Harvard, Louann Brizendine exposed that nearly all of the clinical data in existence on neurology, psychology, and neurobiology focused exclusively on males. In response to the overwhelming need for in rank on the female mind, Brizendine customary the first clinic in the people to study and handle women’s brain function.
In The Female Brain, Dr. Brizendine distills all her findings and the latest in rank from the scientific community in a highly accessible book that educates women about their unique brain/body/behavior.
The result: women will come away from this book knowing that they have a lean, mean, communicating machine. Men will develop a serious case of brain envy.

This hardcover book is a classic example of a woman with credentials that is retelling the same jargon we heard regarding females from the age of adolescence. It seems as though this novelist is taking her private experiences and preferences and intuitions and exploiting them as general facts of the female psyche. I have said this once and I will say this again. No one can validate nor prove a generalization of an entire species and guess someone like me to agree with what they say.
From the dawn of evolution, before Darwinism and Freudian thinkers existed, there have been two types of genders in all species. They may have been different physically. But, in my experience with my opposite sex, ALL OF THE THINGS that Louann Brizendine claims makes the female gender so uniquely different from males is just so the hogus-bogus that misled my beginning interpretations of women. During that misleading, I experienced so much abuse and cruelty from women that I started to wonder who really had the “penis”.
Because, according to authors like Brizendine, the Y chromosome and testosterone are the largest factors biogenically that distiniguish the amounnts of aggression and desires for sexuality. Well, IF THAT’S THE CASE, then clarify to me why the overall statistics show that meanwhile the national ratio of spousal abuse of women has decreased, the percentage of battered males has remained steady and increased. What may possibly POSSIBLY be driving these NORMAL females to be so violent towards their mates?
Well………..here’s some actual facts, Dr.Brizendine. The majority of batterd females resides not in heterosexual relationships, but Lesbian relationships. And, we’re not just talking about the “Butch” types either. Wow! Women on women! Isn’t that fascinating? Wait, aren’t women supposed to be nurturing, visually inclined to read faces better than men, more maternal and have a larger emotional capacity in their cortex and amygdalas? Jeeee, can we say feminism and neuroscience at the same time? Oh, wait, I forgot. “Manly” women have CAH, or congenital adrenal hyperplasia (according to Dr.Brizendine). Lady, I have a question for you.
Who made you the goddess of neuroscience? How can you generalize all female brain development and social agenda regarding caregiving desires and nurturing? Maybe, YOUR mama embedded those qualities in your head and told you that that was what made you feminine. The term “feminine” has a mass variety of definitions from generation to generation and should not be subjected to such laid-back statements like yours just because you buried your face in a dozen textbooks and received a paper from your graduate school for it.
I AM a college student and now dying my Master’s Degree in Strategic Leadership. Although I am not a scientist of the biological mind such as yours, I feel like I know enough to argue about the material that I don’t even do with on a daily basis. So, for readers who are looking for a way to indulge in their understanding of the female psyche, please don’t pick up this book. It’s just another woman rambling about how different men are to women. It’s the same stuff you hear in a family setting or a group of friends. Except, this is one person with some credentials doing it with some collegiate language.

I knew all these things that this book is about even without researching anything. I only have a brutal capacity of observation. Because of this book I have to say “Thank you very much God for being a man and not a woman” thank you a lot. Buy this book men and learn that we have to be proud of being males.

I had heard about this book from my supporter Wynonna Judd, and i sought after to read it so much. My supporter got it for me for Christmas.
I learned alot about myself as a Woman, and it really makes you reckon about the way Men and Woman react to things in such different ways.
This Doctor knows what she is talking about, and she got the help of other proffessionals in the business to keep all the in rank up to date and done her homework.
I would urge this book to any Woman who cares enough about herself to learn more about our complex thoughts and bodies.
I loved this book alot, and i have passed it on to my other irish Roomate.
They do not talk about things like this when you are a wee girl in Ireland, so i was learned alot about myself as a Woman now living in nashville, TN USA.
Read this book girls, it will help.
