Our brains are shaped by hormones, yet science has long ignored how profoundly this affects women.In The Female Brain, cognitive neuroscientist and clinical psychologist Ann-Marie de Lange explores how hormonal rhythms sculpt the female brain across every stage of life, from puberty and the menstrual cycle to pregnancy, motherhood and menopause. Drawing on new research and personal stories, she reveals the astonishing adaptability of the female brain: how it grows stronger, more complex and more resilient through change, loss and transition.Why do so many women experience brain fog, mood shifts or changes in memory and focus? What really happens inside the brain during pregnancy or menopause? De Lange challenges the long-standing medical bias built on male physiology, offering a new, evidence-based perspective on women’s neurological health.Both enlightening and empowering, The Female Brain combines cutting-edge science with lived experience to show that women’s biology is not a limitation — it is a source of strength.
