THE TWO SEXES
Growing up Apart, Coming Together
Eleanor Maccoby
Harvard University Press, 2000
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Readers should be familiar with how being male or being female shapes our psychology, how anatomical differences are shaped by socialization, how gender differences mainly affect social interactions, the differential socialization of boys and girls in youth, the different behavior of young boys and girls in same sex groups and in mixed sex groups, and 'the two cultures of childhood.' Readers should be familiar with the changes in gender socialization when boys and girls become teenagers and the differences in same and cross-sex groupings in school and their later development into adult gender differences.
Eleanor Maccoby, Ph.D., taught at Stanford University for four decades and is Professor Emeritas. She is a member of the National Academy of Sciences. In a long and distinguished career, she has written many classic works on sex differences, including The Psychology of Sex Differences and scores of journal articles.
