"This is a must for all women (and men....) as it gives a very clear insight in how much we misunderstand ourselves, being so trained to use male measurements and fit into a male world. Every page was a revelation to me, often painful and shocking in its obvious simplicity, about how stunted our understanding of ourselves is, how much we mirror ourselves to a male world, how much we cover up who we really are, try to cope and haven't really taken charge of our own development yet. It leaves big questions with me as to where to go next as women... which of course is going to be our big task for the 21st Century, given that we now have the freedom to explore these questions."
"i am hitting the jackpot on timely reading lately. this ties in to a lot of things i've been thinking about and illuminates some interesting patterns. gilligan's central point (and be aware, this book is about thirty years old and we're talking in broad generalizations that do not apply to everyone) is that the societal paths of development for men and women differ in that men develop along a path measured by individualism and absolute justice while women develop along a path of connectivity. the discrepancy arises in that our societal systems measure women by the same standards as men. and everyone loses out. women do not develop the skills to navigate between their internal value systems that emphasize relationships and collective success and their external value systems that emphasize absolute morality and individual success. men do not develop the tools to integrate a rubric of care and concern into the value system of individual success. what a mess!"
"If you haven't read it, you should. It's a classic now but it started the ball rolling to help make women's ways of knowing about the world more mainstream."
