Rezension
"It is fun moving through this book with Gilligan as she chances on this or that element of patriarchy - in Freud, Lysistrata, Hawthorne, Marvell, Oresteia. And it is enlightening to watch her demolish the wheeze of a child's support scheme which never was or is the simple mother/father/child triad."
Review of Arts, Literature, Philosophy, and the Humanities
"This is a small book about love, hope and empathy in the context of Carol Gilligan's journey as a psychologist, a researcher, a writer and a feminist. It is a book that emerging social science researchers and clinical practitioners will find much in, particularly with regard to her passion for qualitative research and feminism."
Sex Roles
"An intelligent, mature and important contribution to the kind of feminism we all need and want ... Gilligan has written an important book which should be read by all, not only by girls and women, but also by boys and men. Her invitation for all to join the resistance should be heeded, for its beneficiaries belong to humans of all genders and ages. In this sense, we should all count ourselves as feminists of Gilligan's type and thus make way for a democratic society of caring equals."
USC Graduate Journal
"Helps heal the split between reason and emotion, mind and body, self and relationships, especially as they relate to gender identity. There is much food for thought in this work."
Scientific and Medical Network
"In Joining the Resistance, Gilligan makes a useful distincton in the debate about the ethic of care, by which her earlier work has been characterized and criticized, to emphasize her main theoretical point: The way forward out of patriarchy is a democratic solution that frees women and men to pursue a human ethic of care."
Contemporary Psychology: APA Review of Books
"Carol Gilligan is one of the pre-eminent psychologists of our time. Joining the Resistance is a leap forward in what has become her life-journey, connecting psychology to culture. The book stands on its own as a work of art; it is beautifully written and like the best sort of novel, full of surprises."
Richard Sennett, New York University
"Original work expands our humane capacity. In Joining the Resistance, Carol Gilligan continues to inspire us. Hers is a generous art, clearing a road that leads to a thriving place - one of love and justice. Will we allow ourselves?"
