    The first book I read of Carol Gilligan's was her collaboration with Richards "The Deepening Darkness". I was agog! I had to continue and continued by reading her "Joining the Resistance", the continuance of the theme describing patriarchy in conflict with democracy. I knew I was skirting around her first book and finally realised I actually had to read it before continuing with her current books. So, I put down "Joining" and purchased a copy of this seminal book "In a Different Voice" . The book margins are now full of my annotations, both philosophical and clinical, and highlighted in several keyed colors. This book is as important to me as my encounter with Henri Laborit's "La Nouvelle Grille" and its subsequent "In Praise of Escape" (Eloge de la fuite). Gilligan has brought to the surface the liminal domain female dialogue had been relegated to. Proposing the moral theory of Ethics of Care she has valued terms and conditions of our caring actions htat both caring women and men have used. Heretofore, this conversation had been emarginated as irrational, immature and religious without hope of being represented in our justice system. And yet, justice needed care in one of the founding cases when Solomon decides that a baby has to be cut into halves in order to be 'fair' and leaves the women to deal with the official judgement. He recognised the true mother because she refused to let harm of 'justice' come to the child, which was the UNREALISTIC and only fairness that he could publically arrive at. He was sure that the unrecognised domain of LOVE would prevail and determine the true outcome of the courts. I love Gilligan's seminal book. It has helped me understand myself and the choices I have made in life more clearly. I understand my mental health clients with more clearly -informed compassion. All caring humans are speaking in this 'different' voice. All the men who were ready to break through the cultural barriers and become nurses have experienced the same anguish women have lived with when admitting they care and make it the foundation of their career. There is no justice without caring, we would not even seek justice if we did not care. Lack of care undermines justice, and politics in general.

    This is really interesting, especially under the title "In a Different Voice" instead of saying "In a Female Voice".
    I think a lot of the problems women had at that time, with women's voices being marginalised, are problems, men have today. For example looking at victims of violence, men's voices are completely left out of the discussion, in spite of men being the majority of victims of violence.
    Interesting is also the stereotypes, she discusses. The stereotype of women being "emotional" is still a lot perpetrated, with men being thought of as cold and rational and women as warm and empathic.
    So in conclusion I have to disagree, that the whole paradigm have changed. A lot has changed, but we still operate under a lot of outdated gender paradigms, which are still as harmful. The difference is, that sexism against women became sanctioned in society, while sexism against men is still mostly unsanctioned and sometimes even encouraged.
    Anyhow I really like a lot of her ideas and especially the way she talks. When Gilligan is talking about feminism, it seems to me, that she is not talking about men as sole perpetrators and women as sole victims, but rather about a change in society, that was much needed at that point.

    I feel like while she is right about women being brought down in the adult world, but she has made points that girls are at a disadvantage in schools while evidence points towards boys being at a significant disadvantage in schools. She has a bias. A fairly major bias.

      Indeed, not only sexism against women has been abolished by law, but now in the very! recent time there is real! sexism against man in some ares it translated that women are actually getting paid more! for the same job or even working less
