From the Publisher:
Carol Gilligan believes that psychology has persistently and systematically misunderstood women. Repeatedly, developmental theories have been built on observations of men's lives. Here, Gilligan attempts to correct psychology's misperceptions and refocus its view of female personality. The result reshapes our understanding of human experience.New printing of the 1982 edition (which is cited in BCL3 ) with a new (18 p.) Letter to Readers by the author.

Praise
Time
"How likely is it that a single book could change the rules of psychology, change the assumptions of medical research, change the conversation among parents and teachers and developmental professionals about the distinctions between men and women, boys and girls? Yet many who read Carol Gilligan's book 'In a Different Voice'...find that their views on gender will never be the same....Gilligan's work has changed the voice of psychology." 06/17/1996 New York Times Book Review
Theories of moral development are not mere abstractions. They matter-to the way children are raised, to female and male self-esteem...and that is why Carol Gilligan's book is important...[It] is consistently provocative and imaginative."
