Description

The essays collected in Analyzing the Different Voice: Feminist Psychological Theory and Literary Texts apply influential, pathbreaking psychological studies about women's lives to literature. In their analyses of fictional portraits, contributors both challenge and confirm psychological theories about female identity, about "connection/separation" as developmental catalysts, and about the impact of gender on "voice," moral decision-making, and epistemology in relation to classical and contemporary literary texts, written by both women and men.
