Will boys and girls ever be equal? Are boys really stronger? How did women get to vote? Are boys allowed to cry? Can a woman be president? Why do we call girls "tomboys" and boys "girly men"? Who's smarter, girls or boys? Why do ads feature naked women?
This book takes real questions from kids as its starting point to interrogate the differences between the sexes: what makes a girl or a boy? What are their roles? How does sexual identity actually develop? Is gender innate or a social construct?
A book to help readers get to know themselves better, respect others and their uniqueness, and dismantle enduring clichés. With two-page spreads on men and women who've fought for gender equality.
