This is the little book that started a revolution. First
published almost twenty years ago, it made 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 three-quarters of a
million copies sold around the world. In a Different
Voicehas 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.
