Biology at Work: Rethinking Sexual Equality (The Rutgers Series in Human Evolution)
Brings an evolutionary perspective to bear on issues of women in the workplace: the ""glass ceiling"", the ""gender gap"" in pay, sexual harassment, and occupational segregation. While acknowledging the role of discrimination and sexist socialization, Browne suggests that until we factor real biological differences between men and women into the equation, the explanation remains incomplete.
