Sex Differences in Britain

This book brings together, for the first time, the facts about gender differences in Britain today. It provides the evidence that must underlie any serious debate and is an invaluable source of reference for women who want the facts and figures to back up their experience of continuing inequality. The authors discuss clearly the problems of definition that inevitably arise: where do biological differences end and cultural ones begin? And how significant are proven differences? They then examine key areas such as health, social security, educational opportunity and achievement, the labour market, politics and crime.
