Women's Growth In Diversity Summary

Women's Growth In Diversity: More Writings from the Stone Center by Judith V. Jordan

In a society that attaches prime importance to individual achievement, the connectedness of women's experience has traditionally been undervalued. Striving toward a more accurate representation of women's psychological development, the Stone Center at Wellesley College has become well known for its exploration of women's ways of defining themselves in relation to others. This new collection builds on the foundations laid by the widely acclaimed Women's Growth In Connection to further describe the relational perspective, devoting special attention to the diversity of women's experience. Its 15 thoughtful and clearly written chapters offer fresh insights on vital issues including sexuality, shame, anger, depression, power relations between women, and women's experiences in therapy, and make engaging reading for anyone/m-/female or male/m-/interested in increasing connectedness at a personal and societal level.

Women's Growth In Diversity Reviews

A significant contribution to the psychological literature. This work advances the move toward more inclusive conceptualizations of women's psychologies, their relationships and their experiences. An excellent book for course adoption in graduate and undergraduate courses in women's studies. --Beverly Greene, PhD, Professor of Psychology, St. John's University; Private Clinical Practice

This excellent, important collection shows the vitality of the Stone Center Project and reveals the development of a revolutionary women's psychology. Diversity is the human condition and these papers take substantial steps toward bringing it into central focus. --Carol Gilligan, PhD, Author of In A Different Voice; Professor, Harvard School of Education

A brilliant and essential book, grounded in compassion and rooted in the real world of female experience. Once again the work of the Stone Center gives us a more accurate and enriched view of women, charting provocative new directions not only for therapists, but for all who seek a deeper understanding of female development and the human condition. --Harriet Lerner, PhD, Author of The Dance of Anger; Senior staff psychologist, Menninger Clinic
-Explores women in relation to their social environment, and their relationships as well as their inner lives....It is a veritable breath of fresh air and a necessary tool to effect change and growth for women.--Herizons, 3/17/1997
