Charlotte Perkins GilmanThere is no female mind. The brain is not an organ of sex. As well speak of a female liver.
About This Quote
The brain is not an organ of sex. If you think about it, the brain is a more complicated part of our body than any other. It allows us to perform all of the tasks we need in order to survive. It controls the body’s entire nervous system, and is responsible for all of our thoughts, feelings and memories.
It has been said that the brain is not an organ of sex because it seems that men and women have different brains. In reality, this is not the case at all. There is no difference in the brain between men and women.
