About this listen

Once upon a time (just a few years ago), psychologists believed that the way we chose to communicate was largely a function of personality. If certain conversational styles were more common to one sex than the other (more abstract and aggressive talk for men, for instance, more personal and equivocal talk for women), then this was just another tribute to the influence of biology on personality.

In her landmark essay, Men and Women Talking, Gloria Steinem confronts long-held misconceptions about the supposedly scientific differences in the way men and women communicate, debunking - among other things - the myth of the "talkative woman". Men and Women Talking was originally published in Ms., May 1981.

Interesting Content, Average Presenting

I enjoyed the content of this audiobook very much, however the way it was presented wasn’t too interesting. Although I liked the overall content and studies and experiments that happened in the book, it was presented in a way where it was like a boring lecture, in which it took me longer than needed to complete the book as I constantly lost my place as I would stop paying attention as it was so boring.

Practical tips to do conversations better.

I love that she had research to back the assertions and that the book included practical ways to help both men and women be better conversationalists.

I realized a few of my own unintentional habits as I read as well. Worth the read!
