Sex and Cognition
What is known about the hormonal and neurological foundations underlying the differences between male and female behaviour? How are our cognitive skills affected? The originality of this book lies in the demonstration, supported by scientific evidence, that sexual hormones act on the organisation of the brain from the very early stages of life, with the result that factors such as environment, background and culture act on very different brain structures, depending on whether it belongs to a man or a woman. It could therefore be said that there are female and male brains or, at least, gender-based ways of thinking and acting. The latest biological and cognitive research presented here casts a new light on a highly controversial social issue.

The Soul is a Feminine Being
Do women have a soul ? Philosophers have historically doubted this, refusing to accord women rationality. However, at the same time, they have been unable to imagine the soul without the help of feminine metaphors : the soul conceives, it is pregnant with knowledge, it gives birth in pain and distress but always with the help of someone. In reading classic texts such as Derrida, and deconstructing them while drawing comparisons with others and focusing on what may seem paradoxical, such as the many Freudian slips, Giulia Sissa leads us to interrogate ourselves on the exclusively feminine attributes of the Western soul. A radical questioning of the difference between the sexes which leads us to the most profound aspects of our culture.
