Title: Quite a disappointment
Review: I found Mr. Shlain's premise fascinating. Unfortunately, the book didn't carry through on the promise it made. It started off on the wrong foot by never actually giving any evidence that women are more right-brained than men. Some of the historical examples in the book were fascinating. Others were pure speculation, twisted to fit his thesis, or just plain factually wrong. He also fails to clearly define what types of proto-feminism he's looking for. As a result, there are confused and confusing examples where women are enshrined but not enriched or vice versa.
