"The Female Brain" by Louann Brizendine (MD) looks at how hormones and brain wiring influence mood, communication, and connection throughout a woman’s life. From the teenage years to pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause, Brizendine blends clinical experience with research to make complex science relatable. She explains how changes in estrogen, progesterone, and other hormones can shape emotions, decision-making, and relationships. Readers gain practical insight into patterns they notice in themselves or others, along with tools for clearer conversations at home, at work, and in social settings.
