Rippon is now professor emeritus of cognitive neuroimaging at Aston University. Shocked by the misuse of sex and gender reporting in neuroscience, she became set on changing the rhetoric. At the time, she was working at the Aston Brain Centre, part of Aston University in Birmingham, UK. Rippon first encountered it in the 2000s. The Gendered Brain: The New Neuroscience that Shatters the Myth of the Female Brain was written in part, she says, to address dubious research, or what is sometimes called neurotrash. Rippon argues that our brains are not fixed as male or female at birth, but are instead highly plastic, changing constantly throughout our lives and influenced by the gendered world in which we live. By examining examples taken from brain–behaviour research during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, right up to contemporary studies, the book, published in 2019, investigates the desire to find biological explanations for gendered societal norms.

The way our brains develop is thought to be influenced by the gendered world in which we live.

An enjoyable read on the popular theme of overcoming adversity."- School Library Journal "A strong sense of purpose, leavened by generous doses of humor and post-World War II period detail, drives this story of a resilient middle-grader who demonstrates that having one hand is an opportunity rather than a handicap.
