The Female Brain is a book written by the American neuropsychiatrist Louann Brizendine in 2006. The main thesis of the book is that women's behavior is different from that of men due, in large measure, to hormonal differences. The book was a commercial success but received mixed reviews due to questions about its scientific validity. Many of the book's claims have since been denounced as pseudoscience.
