“Every so often a book appears that overshadows another on the subject.  Toward a New Psychology of Women is one of those books.  Dr Jean Baker Miller draws on her years of experience as a psychoanalyst and her insight as a woman, as she expresses with clarity and compassion her ideas on women and their future in the world.
She argues that the psychological development of both sexes has been distorted by an ‘inequality of framework’.  As a result, the qualities that women possess in abundance – tenderness, cooperativeness, unselfishness – have been consistently devalued as characteristics of a subordinate sex, and women have endorsed this attitude.  In fact, as the author points out, these qualities are sources of enormous strength and must be used as such; and she goes on to specify how these assets can be used to change women’s lives.”
