Re: book synopsis: Women's Ways of Knowing

Jane Jackson wrote:

I found WOMEN'S WAYS OF KNOWING (Basic Books, 1986) to be excellent.
It's subtitled "The Development of Self, Voice, and Mind".

Jane,

Thank you for sharing your reading of Women's Ways of Knowing.

I checked with Amazon.com and they list two books by this title and
publisher, one published in 1988 (which is out of print) and another
published in 1997. The later one is subtitled as you have indicated. I
was unable to find a reference to one published in 1986. Is the version
you read the one published in 1997?

Gene:
The 1997 book may be Knowledge, Difference, and Power: Essays inspired by
Women's Ways of Knowing. This is not the book Jane is talking about, I
don't believe. I am surprised WWK is out of print, but it was very
commonly available. It seems possible some bookstores might still have it.
Also, search by a bookstore for it in the newsletter bookstores have for
this purpose might turn up a copy. It should be in good academic libraries.

Good luck.
