In the essay “Women’s Brains” published in 1980 as part of “The Panda’s Thumb”, Stephen Jay Gould, an evolutionary biologist, argues against the judgements against women referring to their “lack” of intelligence. He also argues that we can not trust science to give us the full truth without missing something.
