In a Different Voice by Carol Gilligan
This is the little book that started a revolution, making women's voices heard, in their own right and with their own integrity, for virtually the first time in social scientific theorizing about women. Its impact was immediate and continues to this day, in the academic world and beyond. Translated into sixteen languages, with more than 700,000 copies sold around the world, In a Different Voice has inspired new research, new educational initiatives, and political debate--and helped many women and men to see themselves and each other in a different light.Carol Gilligan believes that psychology has persistently and systematically misunderstood women--their motives, their moral commitments, the course of their psychological growth, and their special view of what is important in life. Here she sets out to correct psychology's misperceptions and refocus its view of female personality. The result is truly a tour de force, which may well reshape much of what psychology now has to say about female experience.Carol Gilligan is a writer and psychologist who divides her time between New York City and the Berkshires. In a Different Voice: Psychological Theory and Women's Development, her groundbreaking book, has been translated into eighteen languages. Meeting at the Crossroads, Between Voice and Silence, Creating Connections, and Women, Girls, and Psychotherapy: Reframing Resistance are four volumes she co-authored and co-edited with her students on women's psychology and girls' development. Her award-winning research at Harvard, where she was the first Graham Professor of Gender Studies, led to the establishment of the university's Center on Gender and Education. She is now a New York University University Professor.
