I think they are roughly the same, but the studies mentioned in
http://web.missouri.edu/~psycorie/brain.html suggest that in women the
language system is more distributed (with exceptions like Wernicke's
and Broca's areas). My guess is that in women the network is more
bilateral and less easily disrupted by the failure of a single region.
