En savoir plus sur le livre

On the journey to womanhood, what do girls sacrifice? For five years, Lyn Mikel Brown and Carol Gilligan explored this question by listening to one hundred girls navigating the challenges of adolescence. Their findings reveal that the transition from girlhood often leads to silence, disconnection, and a struggle to express one's true self, shaped by cultural obstacles. Brown and Gilligan created a Listener's Guide to help decode girls' thoughts and feelings, highlighting the nuances in their expressions. As girls enter adolescence, they face a cultural impasse where their feelings and knowledge become difficult to articulate. This shift marks a critical phase in women's psychological development, characterized by a disjunction between body and psyche, voice and desire, self and relationships. The authors share their method and findings, encouraging girls to engage in conversations with women about their experiences. By following some girls over time, they document the evolution of their voices and the challenges they encounter. This groundbreaking work offers significant insights into girls' development and women's psychology, while also providing a framework for women to connect with girls at this pivotal stage, fostering self-affirmation and understanding.
