Product Description
divDespite the progress of the women#8217;s 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#8217; collaboration and research developed, this tenth anniversary edition addresses many of the questions that the authors have been asked repeatedly in the years since iWomen#8217;s Ways of Knowing/i was originally published./div

We Need This Book! January 24, 2008
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.br /br /Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein

ways of knowing May 15, 2007
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.

Female Engineer "discovers" her own voice March 31, 2007
8 out of 14 found this review helpful

This book represents a real setback for women, rational thought, science, scholarship, America and Western civilization. Women do not have separate "ways of knowing." This is truly drivel. An intelligent and educated person is someone who is prepared to collect evidence, evaluate its quality,weight its strength and reach a defensible conclusion. This statement remains true for men or women, in any field at any time.br /br /This book promotes self-pity and failure. A real recipe for failure for any young women buying this utter nonsense. This is not the middle ages, men do not lord power over women, in fact, men are part of the unprotected class which can be stereotyped and ridiculed with impunity.br /br /As a female engineer I can tell you that my "way of knowing" is the same as anyone else's way of knowing. One reviewer here couldn't understand how people learn physics, that I suggest, is the result of her believing the type of nonsense pedaled by this author. People learn physics the same way people learn anything: step by step, with effort and self-discipline.br /br /Please also note that 40 years after the resurgence of feminism in the United States women are still very much a minority in engineering although they are welcomed with open arms. In my freshman physics class, there were only 5 women among 70 students. Three of those women dropped out. You can't be an engineer if you drop out of first year physics. Modern feminism has encouraged women to blame others for their lack of success and to ask "society" to make them successes by fiat, as a result these women aren't ready for college level mathematics or physics. They are not prepared to put in the effort that it takes to succeed. They aren't ready for true leadership roles in any other field, either.br /br /I hope no young women is influenced by this ridiculous, ludicrous and counter-productive mindset. If Western culture had been guided by this author's mindset, we never would have made it to the moon, found a cure for polio, or invented the internet. Sheeshbr /br /

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.

This book took me several steps further than Carol Gilligan and other feminist writers. Great work!
