Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - We Need This Book!
As a practicing psychologist working with women I am always trying to help women understand not only their personal dynamics, but the forces in society that influence and impact us. This book does a wonderful job of explaining the multitude of factors that make up the complexity of being in our society as women. I recommend this book as an essential read.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - ways of knowing
Women's ways of knowing -just like Perry's book (1970)- shows in a clear manner the epistemological development after adolescence. The described 'ways of knowing' bear a close resemblance to Perry's 'positions' or Baxter Magolda's ERM. We have shown that these models portray a development that is also described by our own learning/teaching conceptions model.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Women's Ways of Knowing: The Development of Self, Voice, and Mind
Both as a woman and as a graduate student in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I found the book to be interesting and inspiring. I recognized many aspects of my own experience in the book and was interested in the unique experience that women have regarding knowledge.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wonderful work!
This book took me several steps further than Carol Gilligan and other feminist writers. Great work!
