I was so intrigued by the examples Gladwell did include, I never thought to question why he didn't include female examples as well. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps the relative lack of hugely successful women in the fields he explores exactly proves his point: there IS a cultural bias that privileges some talented folks over others. (If you want to be a pro hockey player, be a BOY with a birthday in January. If you want to be a computer entrepreneur, be a BOY born in the 1950s, etc.)<BR/><BR/>I found you via the Audiobook Challenge. I listened to Outliers a few weeks ago but haven't gotten around to reviewing it: I have a handful of other audiobooks to review before I get to it! I figure I'll catch up by the end of the year...Loriannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610684937868696220noreply@blogger.com
