TL;DR
Females have proportionally larger Wernicke and Broca language-associated regions compared with males, and these anatomical differences may correlate with superior language skills previously demonstrated in females.
Abstract
Our results suggest that females have proportionally larger Wernicke and Broca language-associated regions compared with males. These anatomical differences may correlate with superior language skills previously demonstrated in females.

207 Citations1994Anne L. Foundas, Christiana M. Leonard +3 more
Measurements on magnetic resonance imaging scans of patients who had selective hemispheric anesthesia or Wada testing performed for language lateralization suggest that planum temporale asymmetries determined by MR are associated with language dominance and may predict language laterality.

An analysis of the columnar structure of the dendritic trees indicates varying degrees of specificity in collecting information from their surroundings, and an analysis of their tangential extent shows that in the primary cortices a greater extent in the left hemisphere effectively cancels the differences in columnar widths and intervals, allowing for a similar dendrite connectivity among columns in both hemispheres.

193 Citations1991Sandra F. Witelson
It is suggested that in early development of the male brain, lower levels of androgenic hormones or receptors lead to less regressive events in some brain regions, such as the temporo-parietal region, resulting in a larger isthmus of the corpus callosum, less cerebral functional asymmetry, and some cognitive correlates.

Progress in the analysis of task‐related changes in distribution of cerebral activities, are expected from: other methods that should complement the subtractive approach, such as analysis of interregional correlations of cerebral activity which would account for the distributed anatomy of language functions; and single‐subject studies in which issues of anatomical and cognitive interindividual variability may be addressed.
