Barred entrance to universities like Harvard, women built their own first-rate medical schools and hospitals. Their success spurred a chilling backlash from elite, white male physicians who were obsessed with eugenics and the propagation of the white race. Distorting Darwin's evolution theory, these haughty physicians proclaimed in bestselling books that women should never be allowed to attend college or enter a profession because their menstrual cycles made them perpetually sick. Motherhood was their constitution and duty. Into the midst of this turmoil marched tiny, dynamic Mary Putnam Jacobi, daughter of New York publisher George Palmer Putnam and the first woman to be accepted into the world-renowned Sorbonne medical school in Paris. As one of the best-educated doctors in the world, she returned to New York for the fight of her life. Aided by other prominent women physicians and suffragists, Jacobi conducted the first-ever data-backed, scientific research on women's reproductive biology. The results of her studies shook the foundations of medical science and higher education. Full of larger than life characters and cinematically written, The Cure for Women documents the birth of a sexist science still haunting us today as the fight for control of women's bodies and lives continues"--

Human diversity : the biology of gender, race, and class / by Murray, Charles A.,author.(CARDINAL)144427;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 373-489) and index.All people are equal but, as Human Diversity explores, all groups of people are not the same -- a fascinating investigation of the genetics and neuroscience of human differences. The thesis of Human Diversity is that advances in genetics and neuroscience are overthrowing an intellectual orthodoxy that has ruled the social sciences for decades. The core of the orthodoxy consists of three dogmas: gender is a social construct, race is a social construct, and class is a function of privilege. The problem is that all three dogmas are half-truths. They have stifled progress in understanding the rich texture that biology adds to our understanding of the social, political, and economic worlds we live in. It is not a story to be feared. "There are no monsters in the closet," Murray writes, "no dread doors we must fear opening." But it is a story that needs telling. Human Diversity does so without sensationalism, drawing on the most authoritative scientific findings, celebrating both our many differences and our common humanity."Gender is a social construct." A framework for thinking about sex differences -- Sex differences in personality -- Sex differences in neurocognitive functioning -- Sex differences in educational and vocational choices -- Sex differences in the brain -- "Race is a social construct." A framework for thinking about race differences -- Genetic distinctiveness among ancestral populations -- Evolution since humans left Africa -- The landscape of ancestral population differences -- "Class is a function of privilege." A framework for thinking about heritability and class -- The ubiquity of heritability and the small role of the shared environment -- Abilities, personality, and success -- Constraints and potentials -- Looking ahead. The shape of the revolution -- Reflections and speculations.

You're teaching my child what? : a physician exposes the lies of sex education and how they harm your child / by Grossman, Miriam.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 193-236) and index.Who's teaching your children? -- Girls and boys are different -- Red light, green light -- A doctor's oath -- Whitewashing a plague -- Questioning -- Genderland -- Sex education for the twenty-first century.If you think sex education is still about the birds and the bees, think again. And it's not about science either. In her shocking exposé, You're Teaching My Child What?, Dr. Miriam Grossman rips back the curtain on sex education today, exposing a sordid truth. Today's sex ed programs aren't based on science; they're based on liberal lies and politically correct propaganda that promote the illusion that children (yes, children) can be sexually free without risk. As a psychiatrist and expert on sexual education, Dr. Grossman cites example after example of schools and organizations whitewashing -- or omitting altogether -- crucial information that doesn't fit in with their "PC" agenda. Instead, sex educators only tell teens the "facts of life" that promote acceptance, sexual exploration, and experimentation. What sex educators call an education, scientists would call a scam. - Publisher.
