""The power of love upsets the order of things." This new look at the psychology of love had me looking at Shakespears and Freud to come to a new understanding."
"When I saw this on the sale book table, looking very pink and whatnot, I thought "What's that dumb girly book going to be?" But when I saw that Carol Gilligan was the author, I had to pick it up. Carol Gilligan wrote In a Different Voice, which I read in my Development Psychology class in college. I haven't been really moved to dip back into psychology of this sort since but Gilligan has quite a lot of really important stuff to say in this book. I find myself wanting to tell people about it quite often, but just as often, I find I can't quite repeat it to my satisfaction. She has so much to say about pleasure and patriarchy and knowing things and intimacy and the breaking of intimacy. It's actually a little overwhelming. I feel like I need to read it again or write or paper on it or something to get a full handle on what she's getting at. Actually, what I want to do is make a show about it. But that's for later, I think. The biggest concept that keeps returning is the idea of people not knowing what they know. Her thesis is that girls start not knowing what they know at adolescence and boys start not knowing what they know around age five. It's really startling stuff and makes buckets of sense. She looks at a lot of case studies, particularly couples in crisis - all of which are fascinating. I particularly loved her analysis of Twelfth Night in relationship to these issues and also her take on Freud's career. She made me want to investigate Freud a little further, which I didn't think I'd ever want to do again. It's a really lovely book about love and relationships and life and stuff. It's not always crystal clear; She veers from poetry to case study to concept in a sort of dizzying way. The nuggets of insight, though, are profound and I think are worth the confusion."
"I read this for a class with the author entitled Resisting Injustice. While I enjoyed what Gilligan calls her associative writing style and appreciated what she said about children's indoctrination into patriarchy, I didn't get a lot out of the book itself. I would have given it two stars but for the interesting conversation it provoked in class."
