内容説明
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.

Not a Different Voice for women at all....
I was very disappointed in this book. I picked it out as part of a project for school among 5 book choices. I wish I had chosen White Teacher instead of this book. The author is a feminist and she has a forward that praises Roe vs. Wade. I thought--this doesn't even sound like the book I purchased when I read the forward. I went on to read the main parts of the book (with various chapters). The first chapter was interesting--talking about how child psychologists only use male children as subjects and not really female on child development. OK, I can see that this could be a problem later on as an adult. However, the author had a chapter about "moral development" and she defined morals as NO absolutes. I don't believe this at all. There HAS to be MORAL ABSOLUTES--in fact everyone has the 10 commandments written in their hearts. The author is denying this and denying the need for moral absolutes. So, her "abortion study" is so false and fake by using people who have NO MORALS as subjects that it is very bias and no wonder the results were in favor of abortion. If she wants to do a TRUE ABORTION STUDY--she needs to find people with some MORALS and redo her study. She will find that MOST women who have had an abortion go through REGRET and LOSS that is indescribable. I don't even know what they go through. I don't believe in abortion and I won't even consider it. I can only imagine if someone had a miscarriage that it would be similar but not the same. Anyway, I don't recommend this book for the truth about woman's development.
Did not enjoy the read
Did not enjoy reading this book as I thought I would. Could not even finish reading the book. I think the style of writing did not suit me. Would recommend instead "Toward a new psychology for women" by Jean Baker Miller- more concise and to the point. Perhaps my expectations were too high after reading the latter book.
A rigor-less lens with which to view women.
Gilligan's book launched a cottage industry of teacher in-service seminars on the disadvantages (and the corresponding advantages provided to men) that American women experience in our educational system. Unfortunately, her study lacked any rigor that is associated with sound research. While the study provides face validity (conclusions that seem to make sense), there is no predictive value to the study and its conclusions. Further, Gilligan has changed her story from this being a quantitative study, to it really being a qualitative study, to, eventually, it being an anecdotal study. There may be large differences in the way our schools treat women. They may even be placed in a disadvantaged position, but there is no valid evidence presented here.
Gilligan has been unwilling to open her research up to the academic community, a violation of accepted academic practice. Therefore, this study is less of a proof than it is a lens by which to view, a priori, a feminist perspective on the disadvantages provided to American women. As such, it would be useful to feminist theory, but not to science and reason. It did provide a useful tool to get Kohlberg to reformulate his research to be more inclusive, so that was useful.
Hoff-Summers wrote a critique of Gilligan called The War Against Boys. Hoff-Summers' interest was first piqued by being a feminist with a son in public schools, and her experience of the way she saw girls being favored in classrooms at the expense of the boys. It is an interesting read, and while it may not draw all the correct conclusions, it does shine a fairly bright light on the weakness of Gilligan's methodology.
"I get it"
I actually am still reading this book because I am taking my time digesting it all. It's really giving me insight on how women's thoughts and opinions have been influenced from birth. It's helping me validate my own feelings and opinions.
Betrayal of the Magdelene
Originally, reading Gilligan's book, In a Different Voice created a number of mixed feelings within me. There is no argument that it is well written. But I couldn't help feeling that, although the author was attempting to expose the inanity of her male counterparts' belief regarding women's reasons for being...women (especially including our emotional natures), being part of the mainstream academic good old boy system, she nonetheless managed to make me feel, anyway, that women are the problem. And, of course, I absolutely do not agree with that conclusion. Consequently, I wrote an article entitled Betrayal of the Magdalene, Subjugation of the Feminine and the Extinction of a Species, which was published in the American Chronicle magazine in November of 2007. If you're interested in reading what I have to say on how the feminine priniciple has been subjugated for the last 13,000 or so years, I invite you to follow this link:[...] or Google Kat Starwolf AND Betrayal of the Magdalene: Subjugation of the Feminine and the Extinction of a Species.
