Despite the progress of the women's movement, many women still feel silenced in their families and schools.

Updated with a new preface exploring how the authors' collaboration and research developed, this tenth anniversary edition addresses many of the questions that the authors have been asked repeatedly in the years sinceWomen's Ways of Knowingwas originally published.
