My fiancee is an anthropologist-to-be (about to start her doctoral program in the fall), and she's familiar with Myths of Gender. She recommends it; the other two she's not familiar with. She also recommends Sperm Wars: The Science of Sex by Robin Baker. Bonk by Mary Roach is good as well, if lighter reading.

Edited to add author's name.
