References on Sex Differences

A popular general introduction to the subject:

• MOIR, A. and JESSEL, D., Brain Sex: the Real Difference between Men and Women, Carol Publishing Group (1991). There are plenty of references to the scientific literature. There is also a 2 or 3 part television series by the same name.
  Quotations from Brain Sex
• The Female Brain by Louanne Brizendine, M.D.

My favorite (a broad-based philosophical and psychological approach):

• WEININGER, OTTO. Sex and Character, (Download the English translation).
  Geschlecht und Charakter : Eine prinzipielle Untersuchung. Reprint of 1st ed (1903). Munich: Matthes & Seitz, 1980.
