The male brain is predominantly hard-wired for understanding and building systems," writes Professor Simon Baron-Cohen, while the neuroscientist Louann Brizendine describes a "female brain" and a "male brain" forever divided by their genetic destinies. Newer, shinier versions take hold every year: "The female brain is predominantly hard-wired for empathy. If we think we have left behind the cliché "Men think and women feel", Fine persuades us to think again. In Delusions of Gender the psychologist Cordelia Fine exposes the bad science, the ridiculous arguments and the persistent biases that blind us to the ways we ourselves enforce the gender stereotypes we think we are trying to overcome. A parent dealing with a girl's craving for dolls and a son's obsession with war games, a teacher managing boys' boisterousness and girls' diffidence, a couple negotiating childcare and housework and a CEO assessing fair practice in policy and promotion are all likely to conclude that their best efforts to achieve gender equality are scuppered by essential differences. ![]() "D o men and women have similar abilities, desires and needs?" is a question all of us must address. ![]() ![]() It is an emotional story and has heavier topics so I wouldn’t recommend this for a younger audience, but it is a must-read for those in middle school and high school.

Many Christian biblical references are interwoven throughout the novel, however, “rather than ‘religious’, ‘numinous’ is a safer word to use … for though they reflect his personal quest for the highest ideals in life and focus on the spiritual attitude of those who recognize a controlling power, they are not expressed in terms of any conventional religion. ![]() The characters of Cloudstreet are thus exposed to a supernatural dimension and their spiritual journeys bring them to “find meaning in the chaos of existence”3. When writing his novel, Winton “wanted to include both realms because that is true realism: the supernatural and the natural accepted as one thing, as inclusive” because he believes “that everything that lives is holy and somehow integrated”2. Elements of Cloudstreet have been derived from Winton’s personal life, experiences and beliefs such as his sense of family, his Australian upbringing, and in particular his comprehension of the spiritual realm. Winton is an Australian author born in 1960. Spirituality is presented in Tim Winton’s novel Cloudstreet as a greater force “beyond the mere physical”1. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() To begin, click the purple email icon to send this author a private email, and be sure to describe your book or include a link to your Readers' Favorite review page or Amazon page.
