WINNER OF THE 2017 ROYAL SOCIETY INSIGHT INVESTMENT SCIENCE BOOK PRIZEWhat the judges said: ` Every man & woman should read this book on gender bias.. . an important, yet wickedly witty, book.` ` Fine`s entertaining & thoughtful book is a valuable addition to the discussion about gender.` Ian Critchley, Sunday Times ` In addition to being hopeful, Fine is also angry. We should all be angry. Testosterone Rex is a debunking rumble that ought to inspire a roar.` Guardian`A densely packed, spirited book, with an unusual combination of academic rigour & readability.. . The expression ”essential reading for everyone” is usually untrue as well as a cliche, but if there were a book deserving of that description this might just be it.` Antonia Macaro, Financial Times Testosterone Rex is the powerful myth that squashes hopes of sex equality by telling us that men & women have evolved different natures. Fixed in an ancestral past that rewarded competitive men & caring women, these differences are supposedly re-created in each generation by sex hormones & male & female brains. Testosterone, so we`re told, is the very essence of masculinity, & biological sex is a fundamental force in our development. Not so, says psychologist Cordelia Fine, who shows, with wit & panache, that sex doesn`t create male & female natures. Instead, sex, hormones, culture & evolution work together in ways that make past & present gender dynamics only a serving suggestion for the future
- not a recipe. Testosterone Rex brings together evolutionary science, psychology, neuroscience & social history to move beyond old `nature versus nurture` debates, & to explain why it`s time to unmake the tyrannical myth of Testosterone Rex. For fans of Fine
- whose Delusions of Gender `could have far-reaching consequences as significant as The Female Eunuch` (Viv Groskop, Guardian)
- & thousands of new readers, this is an upbeat, timely & important contribution to the debate about gender in society.
