Mismeasure Of Woman - Book review

The book unmasks the widespread but invisible custom –pervasive in the social sciences, medicine, law, and history –of treating men as the normal standard, women as abnormal. The author expands our vision of normalcy by illuminating the similarities between women and men and showing that the real differences lie not in gender, but in power, resources, and life experiences.
