This is the little book that began 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 affect used to be immediate and continues to nowadays, in the academic world and beyond. Translated into sixteen languages, with more than 700,000 copies sold around the globe, In a Different Voice has inspired new research, new educational initiatives, and political debate―and helped many men and women to see themselves and every 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’s vital in life. Here she sets out to correct psychology’s misperceptions and refocus its view of female personality. The result is in reality a tour de force, which may well reshape much of what psychology now has to say about female experience.
