Figure 1: Book cover

The book main thesis proposes a new way to think and approach gender related inequality issues.

The author defines two terms: ingressive and congressive behavior as the two dimensions to explain social behavior, and how gender is taken frequently as proxy (in a biased and limited way) for the character traits and properties of these classes.

I liked this book. Very interesting and well written. I found the proposed ingressive/congressive model offers a better framework than pure gender based approaches to try to design and implement solutions of gender based inequality.
