"In a Different Voice"

"In a Different Voice" is a feminist book by Carol Gilligan that explores how men and women often have different ways of understanding themselves and the world. Gilligan argues that traditional theories of moral development, mainly based on male perspectives, overlook the relational and caring aspects more commonly associated with women’s experiences. She emphasizes the importance of listening to women’s voices and recognizing alternative ways of thinking about morality, emphasizing connection, responsibility, and context instead of just rules or justice. The book encourages a broader view of moral and psychological growth, highlighting the diversity of human experience.
