Mismeasure of Woman: Why Women Are Not the Better Sex, the Inferior Sex, or the Opposite SexWhen man is the measure of all things, woman is forever trying to measure up. In this enlightening book, Carol Tavris unmasks the widespread but invisible custom pervasive in the social sciences, medicine, law, and history of treating men as the normal standard, women as abnormal. Tavris expands our vision of normalcy by illuminating the similarities between women and men and showing that the real differences lie not in gender, but in power,

When man is the measure of all things, woman is forever trying to measure up. In this enlightening book, Carol Tavris unmasks the widespread but invisible custom -- pervasive in the social sciences, medicine, law, and history -- of treating men as the normal standard, women as abnormal. Tavris expands our vision of normalcy by illuminating the similarities between women and men and showing that the real differences lie not in gender, but in power, resources, and life experiences.

Great read. Tons of info.
Format: Hardcover
We really like this book. A great background and detailed info on this topic. Really like the real-world examples and application. Pretty exhaustive, as far as that is possible given the topic. Also, quite easy to read, although I confess that if from an engineer's perspective.

Despite the deep gash on the spine of the book that was listed as "new", it is in brand new condition. Shipping was fast.

Under appreciated
Format: Hardcover
I have the first edition, and the 3rd (2020), and the 3rd. This book is a decent introduction to InfoSec, although it takes a few years and some experience to be able to truly appreciate it. I've probably ready it all, in prices, across 15 years and all revisions. It's a reference, it's a guide, that book is my best friend. I think this book is a good guide for entry level folks who are looking for a comprehensive introduction to the field of computer security, and also to senior staff. Be it managers, directors, eng managers, internal audit and privacy professionals looking for a comprehensive introduction to Security relevant regardless of the particular technology they work with or industry they are in.
