Read around 2009/2010. Psychology book. I remember it having a very plain cover, maybe mostly white? It wasn’t an old book, I would guess it was published in the early 2000s. The chapter on single-sex education sticks out the most to me, but I can’t remember if it was entirely about education and gender or just only about gender development in different contexts. There was a study about how girls perform academically when in all-female schools.

Might want to check the Single-Sex Education list.
