In a Different Voice

And the corpus callosum connects both of them.

So in my book, Age Like a Girl, anybody read this? I wrote a whole chapter about a, she was a philosopher who wrote or had a study and wrote a book called In a Different Voice.

Anybody know Carol Gilligan? Yeah.

So Carol Gilligan said that what happens at puberty is that as estrogen comes in, these two parts of your brain start to synergize and everything you look at is through the lens of relational and logical.

And it's intended for bachelors and master's students in social work, but psychologists and counselors could do it too.

And it's things along the lines of when you're in a human behavior theory class and you're learning about, let's say, Maslow's hierarchy, or you're learning about Carol Gilligan's In a Different Voice, about how men and women have different ways of moral judgments.

Elizabeth Kubler-Ross's Stages in Death and Dying.

Whatever it is you're learning about.

Yeah.

So I dove into Carol Gilligan's work and she had a book called In a Different Voice.

And what happened is that back in the 1980s, which I want to point out, that many of us that are going through menopause right now, that was us in the 19, I graduated high school in 1987 when she was studying girls.

And what she found is if you ask a boy and a girl somewhere around the age of nine what they want, They'll give you the exact thing that they want.

And I think that's what we're seeing in our society.

You know, I think of it too, in terms of Carol Gilligan's work on, I think it's called In a Different Voice, where she, you know, it seems related to that questioning on rights.

You know, right now we see a lot of these arguments about, well, that's my right.

And this is my right.

Carol Gilligan's work exemplifies this shift.

In her groundbreaking book, In a Different Voice, She opened new avenues in moral philosophy that challenged traditional narratives.

Her insights pushed us to reconsider how we define ethics, especially regarding gender and the voices often overlooked in these conversations.

Gilligan wasn't just presenting a new voice.

Um, definitely it has those two chapters.

My, my work writing Mothering and Daughtering the book with, with my daughter, and teaching workshops, mothering and daughtering workshops for a period of time.

Mm-hmm.

So Mothering and Daughtering we wrote together, one half for mothers, the other half for daughters, with a, a chapter where we come together.

And it was really that work, that mothering and daughtering work was already inspired by my mentor, Marion Woodman-

Mm-hmm

... um, a Jungian analyst and author of 10 books.

Um, she passed away about almost 10 years ago, and I studied with her.
