Carol Gilligan is a groundbreaking feminist, ethicist and psychologist. She is the mind behind an ethics of care. This revolutionary theory moves beyond the traditional philosophical divides, bringing together psychology and philosophy to delve into the stages of moral development.
Gilligan is a Professor of Humanities and Applied Psychology at New York University and was a visiting professor at the Centre for Gender Studies and Jesus College at the University of Cambridge.
"Gilligan's book is feminism at its best... Her thesis is rooted not only in research but in common sense." The Boston Globe
