TESTOSTERONE REX Myths of Sex, Science, and Society

Narrator Cat Gould's rich voice and Australian accent add a level of interest to a fascinating audiobook. Testosterone is the driving force of masculinity, right? And biological sex is supposedly the foundational difference between men and women, creating the justification for the inequalities we see in today's society. Cordelia Fine examines those theories through evolutionary science, endocrinology, neuroscience, and more, making surprising discoveries about sex, gender, and the roles we play in the world. Gould especially excels at bringing out the humor in this otherwise highly scientific book. Fine's writing paired with Gould's voice makes a dense topic accessible and entertaining.
