In a Different Voice:

Psychological Theory and Women's Development
Front Cover
55 Reviews
Harvard University Press, 1982 - Psychology - 184 pages

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 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.

Review: In a Different Voice: Psychological Theory and Women's Development

User Review  - Meredith Hammond - Goodreads

Interesting perspective on women's psychology and introduction to the feminist approach in therapy. I appreciate how the author sought to depathologize the innate relational nature of women, but I felt that the book focused too heavily on reproductive rights. Read full review

User Review - Goodreads

I have never been interested in women's studies - that hasn't changed. I figured I would give it a try, but I just don't buy into her examples. Abortion? Come on - that does not in any way define ALL ...
