Carol Gilligan is professor of education in the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Her 1982 book, In a Different Voice, presents a theory of moral development which claims that, when they confront moral dilemmas, women tend to think and speak in an ethical voice different from that of men. Gilligan’s view of gender differences parallels Tannen’s analysis of men as wanting independence, women as desiring human connection (see Chapter 36). Gilligan is convinced that most men seek autonomy and think of moral maturity in terms of justice. She’s equally certain that women desire to be linked with others and regard their ultimate ethical responsibility as one of care.
