Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 038547718X, Paperback)

Combining investigative journalism with a survey of current scientific research, the author of Atomic Candy now pushes society's hottest button: gender anxiety. Debunking the myth that men and women are from different planets, Burke casts a disbelieving eye on the shockingly popular diagnosis of Gender Identity and encourages a shift toward a "gender independent" culture, in which individuals adopt the best traits of both sexes.
