Carol Gilligan
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

"Carol Gilligan has become a gender-feminist icon because of her claim that men and women guide their moral reasoning by different principles: men think about rights and justice; women have feelings of compassion, nurturing, and peaceful accommodation. [...] Many studies have tested Gilligan’s hypothesis and found that men and women differ little or not at all in their moral reasoning."--The Blank Slate (2002) by Steven Pinker |
