What is Jay Gould claiming?

Stephen Jay Gould claimed in "Women's Brains" that the conclusions of nineteenth century anthropologist Paul Broca (and his disciples) regarding brain size were faulty. With regard to Broca, Gould argued "I find his numbers sound but his interpretation ill-founded, to say the least." Simply put, Broca believed that women are less intelligent than men based on his claim that women's brains are smaller. Gould heartily disagreed, concluding in this essay that the claims of Broca, Le Bon, and Montessori were "irrelevant and highly injurious" to the groups that their work denigrated.
Gould views Broca's school of thought as a misuse of the scientific process and condemned it for the bigotry that resulted from his interpretations. Gould rejects the claim that any groups possess inferior or superior intelligence, because conclusions influenced by Boca resulted from the faulty use of data. Gould observed that "Women, blacks, and poor people suffered the same disparagement, but women bore the brunt of Broca's argument because he had easier access to data on women's brains."
