- Curated in THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOKS ON FEMINISM
Gilligan’s work was my introduction to feminist theory. As I came of age, it gave me a jumping off point to explore my own emerging ideas about feminism, as well as the historical context for the movement. In more recent years I’ve revisited her work as my own concept of feminism has evolved as well as to seek clarity about what has (or has not) changed at the broader sociocultural level. It’s no longer quite as relevant, as many of our collective ideas have evolved in the decades since it was first published. But there’s value in revisiting the text to clearly witness that evolution and draw hope from it.
