In a Different Voice
The book that heard a different moral voice in women, and launched the ethics of care.
Carol Gilligan’s 1982 book argues that psychology had measured moral development against a male standard. Listening to women making real moral decisions, she heard a different voice, one grounded in care and relationships rather than abstract rights. The book launched the ethics of care and changed debates in psychology and feminism.
