About: Delusions of Gender: How Our Minds, Society, and Neurosexism Create Difference is a book by Cordelia Fine published in 2010 which criticizes claimed evidence of the existence of innate biological differences between men and women's minds, as being faulty and exaggerated, and argues that cultural and societal beliefs contribute to commonly perceived sex differences.

When: Tuesday, March 6th at 7pm - 9pm

How to find us: We'll have the book displayed upright on the table.
The Book: 'Kicking and Screaming' by Ivana Bacik
Facebook Event: RSVP here

About:
'Ivana [Bacik] is a radical new left-wing and feminist voice in the Seanad'

After a century of wars, civil wars, internal division, political upheaval and the growing separation of Church and State, Irish society has emerged as a twenty-first-century hybrid, where the secular, liberal outlook is now, for the first time, the most common view. Ivana Bacik examines the shape and nature of the new Ireland, discussing such contentious topics as: the make-up of the modern family, organized religion, modern sexuality, reproductive rights, equality, racism, censorship and the environment, and the central role of the legal system in formulating a framework for our changing social mores. The book shows how Irish society has evolved to its current incarnation, and where it might go from here.

Come along and join the discussion on March 6th!
