Riassunto

This is the little book that started a revolution. Published over thirty years ago, in twenty-one languages, In a Different Voice made women’s voices heard for the first time in social scientific theorizing. Carol Gilligan’s work and words inspired new research and stirred political debate that continues, unstifled, in our own time.
