Summary:

Revisiting some of the same ground that this noted feminist explored in her landmark In a Different Voice (1982), Gilligan (law/culture, education, and human development, New York U.) offers insights from her personal/professional experience on finding one's own voice, gender relationships, and the dissonance between women's voices and prevailing male-centered psychological theories. The title derives from a lecture she gave on human values and the politics of resistance. The work includes references but lacks an index.
