Delusions of gender : how our minds, society, and neurosexism create difference / by Fine, Cordelia.(CARDINAL)690898;
Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience and psychology, Cordelia Fine debunks the myth of hardwired differences between men's and women's brains, unraveling the evidence behind such claims as men's brains aren't wired for empathy and women's brains aren't made to fix cars. She then goes one step further, offering a very different explanation of the dissimilarities between men's and women's behavior. Instead of a "male brain" and a "female brain," Fine gives us a glimpse of plastic, mutable minds that are continuously influenced by cultural assumptions about gender.--From publisher description.Includes bibliographical references (pages 289-327) and index."Half-changed world," half-changed minds.

Turning pointe : how a new generation of dancers is saving ballet from itself / by Angyal, Chloe,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 259-260) and index.Includes filmography (page 261)."Every day, in dance studios all across America, millions of little girls line up at the barre and take ballet class. Ballet is for girls what football is for boys; while few go on to professional careers, their time in the studio shapes their lives, instilling lessons about gender, power, the value of their bodies and minds, and their place in the world both in and outside of dance. In Turning Pointe, journalist Chloe Angyal takes readers into the exclusive and complicated world of ballet, from the suburban studios where young dancers learn the artform, to the elite summer training programs, to ballet's professional world. She shares the love of ballet that so many dancers feel while also grappling with its shortcomings: the power and tyranny of male choreographers, the impossible standards of beauty, and the racism that pervades ballet. Drawing on interviews with over 80 dancers, students, teachers, and health care professionals, Turning Pointe offers an unprecedented window into the joys and pain of ballet. As Angyal makes clear, if ballet is going to survive in the twenty-first century, if it is going to chart a path into a more socially just future, this reckoning is essential"--Introduction: The fight for the future of ballet -- The hidden curriculum -- Ballet runs on moms -- A tolerance for pain -- Turnout and burnout -- The unbearable whiteness of ballet -- Dance like a man -- Princes and predators -- A new story -- I keep dancing on my own -- How ballet survives.
