Item Description
For over 30 years, the internationally acclaimed Dr. Carol Gilligan has taught and conducted research at Harvard University, Cambridge University and New York University. One of the most well known and controversial figures in the field of psychology, she is considered a pioneer in the field of Gender Studies. She has been the recipient of numerous awards for her achievements as an author, psychologist and educator. She was named one of Time Magazine's Twenty-Five Most Influential People in 1996. Gilligan has been instrumental in research on adolescence, moral development, women's development and conflict resolution. As a feminist, scholar, professor and author, she has helped to form a new direction for women. In The Birth of Pleasure Gilligan asserts that as children we are born with the ability to "love freely" and to "live authentic lives," however these innate abilities are destroyed by patriarchal conventions. She illustrates how girl's voices are systematically quieted, while boys are shamed into masculinity and how those who dare to upset these established paradigms are punished for their non-conformity. In The Birth of Pleasure Gilligan stays true to her reputation by offering an intriguing and controversial study presented in masterful prose. This hardcover copy is in excellent condition. Autographed copy.
