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.
