This book started a revolution. Published decades ago, it made women's voices heard, in their own right, with their own integrity, for virtually the 1st time in social scientific theorizing about women. Its impact was immediate and u0026 continues in the academic world and u0026 beyond. Translated into 16 languages, with over 750,000 copies sold. In a Different Voice has inspired new research, new educational initiatives and u0026 political debate - and u0026 helped many women and u0026 men to see themselves and u0026 each other in a different light. Gilligan believes that psychology has persistently and u0026 systematically misunderstood women: their motives, their moral commitments, the course of their psychological growth and u0026 their special view of what is important in life. Here she sets out to correct psychology's misperceptions and u0026 refocus its view of female personality. The result is a tour de force, which may reshape much of what psychology now has to say about female experience.
