"Genetics is not gender neutral in its impact. In this book, the author cites a wide range of biological and psychosocial examples that reveal its different impact on men and women, especially with regard to reproduction and caregiving.

She examines the extent to which these differences are associated with gender injustice, arguing for positions that reduce inequality between the sexes."--Jacket.
