Accessible, fun and compelling, and based on more than three decades of research, The Female Brain will help women to better understand themselves - and the men in their lives.

In this groundbreaking book, Dr Louann Brizendine describes the uniquely flexible structure of the female brain and its constant, dynamic state of change - the key difference that separates it from that of the male - and reveals how women think, what they value, how they communicate, and whom they'll love. She also reveals the neurological explanations behind why...

- A woman remembers fights that a man insists never happened...
- Thoughts about sex enter a woman's brain perhaps once every couple of days, but may enter a man's brain up to once every minute...
- A woman's brain goes on high alert during pregnancy - and stays that way long after giving birth...
- A woman over 50 is more likely to initiate divorce than a man...
- Women tend to know what people are feeling, while men can't spot an emotion unless someone cries or threatens them with bodily harm!
