The seXY factor

gender differences at home and at work

Plot

In this book, Frances Kendall summarises findings on the physical, mental and psychological differences between the sexes, and argues that the time has come to jettison the either/or approach to gender differences that see-saws between male and female superiority. Instead, she asks us to consider how the natural partnership of men and women — which relies on the strength of both and persists despite our efforts to sabotage it — can be turned to our advantage. She looks at contemporary trends that are transforming both the home and the workplace, and suggests ways in which both men and women can make the most of their natural talents in the knowledge society of tomorrow.
