What perplexes this Amazon.com reviewer is the very shoddy work by this feminist and the amazing effect it has had on the American education school system.

First, the methodology is not a true random samples of the female population. Thus the results are skewed. In business or science this would make the book untouchable by any serious reader. Indeed, it a perfect world it could cost the writer her chairs on various academic boards.

This Amazon.com reviewer was a teacher in the Columbus, Ohio intercity school system. Now, America's intercity schools are some of the poorer schools in Western civilization. However, because of the vast pro-girl and pro-women infrastructure these schools at least gave women of color a fighting chance of getting a good education and going to college. The fact of life is African-American males do considerably poorer in academics than African-American women. African-American women do a better job of sticking together as a cohesive group than a similar group of males. These girls and future women can band together to meet future challenges. Think of it. Because of feminist writers, like Carol Gilligan, the number of women attending college is now over sixty percent at many colleges. However, you don't see Ms. Gilligan write about the vastly successful pro-girl education system in America. Why? She makes money saying things for girls are bad.

Historically, I must give Author Carol Gilligan her due. Her writings are treated as gospel by the academic and media communities. It's puzzling to an informed educator of how her grossly incorrect conclusions have had such a massive impact upon the public mind.

lifes lessons and hard courses and choices are in this book. this book shows us how to deal with them all.
