Despite the progress of the womens movement, many women still feel silenced in their families and schools. This moving and insightful bestseller, based on in-depth interviews with 135 women, explains why they feel this way. Updated with a new preface exploring how the authors collaboration and research developed, this tenth anniversary edition addresses many of the questions that the authors have been asked repeatedly in the years since Womens Ways of Knowing was originally published. Review Womens Ways of Knowing offers new and useful understandings of the epistemology (methods and basis) of the development of womens knowledge. While this already classic scholarly work is neither easily nor quickly read, there are many excellent reasons to read, use, and appreciate it. Earlier research in this field concentrated on predominately undergraduate middle- and upper-class Caucasian males. Based on interviews with 135 women of various ages from a variety of cultural and economic backgrounds, Womens Ways of Knowing creates five not necessarily fixed, exhaustive, or universal categories of how women know what we know. The results of this study are insightful and applicable to everyday life. The authors, instead of speaking from the distant land of objectivity and the omnipotent one, say we and talk about their process: how and why they did this study, the details of their planning, what surprised them, how the results affected their thinking, plans, and progress. A good example of whats possible when love informs science, Womens Ways of Knowing illuminates - with warm and welcome light - scholarly theories about how people learn and know. -- For great reviews of books for girls, check out . -- From ; review by Jesse Larsen About the Author Mary Field Belenky is a consultant on human development and an associate research professor at the University of Vermont. she lives in Marshfield, Vermont and New York City.
