In recent years researchers in many scientific fields have actively focused on what being female really means. Their startling conclusion: Almost every assumption made about women--physical, medical, historical, psychological--turns out to be untested, unproven, or untrue.
Stereotypes about women are as old as time--and as current as still-too-prevalent beliefs based on male models. Acclaimed health writer Dianne Hales brings together the cutting-edge research in anthropology, physiology, psychology, neuroscience, endocrinology, and medicine in a book that reveals the complex interconnections between all aspects of a woman's life from infancy to old age. Gender science is now clearly demonstrating that women are not the second sex but a separate sex, unique in body, mind, and spirit.
Just Like a Woman explains what it means to live in a woman's body, think with a woman's brain, drink in the world with a woman's senses, and react with a woman's sensibility to the stresses and elations of her multiple roles. Refreshingly free of ideology, this meticulously documented book offers a stunningly liberating message that expands our concept of human potential--and will forever change the way every woman views herself.

Just Like a Woman
Despite being out-of-date, this book really opens your eyes to the issues surrounding gender and politics. It has introduced me to new concepts and has made me really think about the various sub-topics this book covers. It has also made me realise how blind I have been as a white, middle-class man.
Whilst this book argues well, I feel the essay, academic approach is too early for this topic. As said by Monro, very little literature has been made about bisexuality and the trans community. For an average reader, the style can be boring and heavy, failing to give the topic the justice it needs. If it had been written more friendly, I may have enjoyed it more.
This book lost the two stars because:
1) The style and word choice should have been friendlier.
2) If the book was aimed at the average reader, Monro failed to take in account lack of pre-knowledge.
