Description: In her persuasive new book, noted anthropologist Helen Fisher declares that women are now "the first sex." Their cooperative spirit, patience, superior verbal ability, and gift for "web thinking" make them perfectly suited to help solve the increasingly complex problems our society faces. In "The First Sex," Fisher shows how the female mind is positioned to have an unprecedented impact in:
-- business: Because of the architecture of their brains, women take the long-term view more regularly than men.
-- education: There will be an even greater need for women as teachers as the knowledge economy grows and expands.
-- law: Women, with their superb people skills, are ushering in a new arm of civil justice.
-- medicine: More patients are seeking hands-on curing by women experts who listen compassionately and supplement conventional medicine with preventive and alternative cures.

"Tomorrow belongs to women, " says Fisher. "The First Sex" will show you why.
