Carol Gilligan, PhD
1998 Distinguished Leader for Women in Psychology

In recognition of her extraordinary contributions as a developmental psychologist to advancing our understanding of the influence of gender on moral reasoning and behavior. Her courageous theoretical vision and her sage scholarly writings have contributed to a more positive understanding of young adolescent girls’ developmental struggles as they move to womanhood and have turned what were previously considered women’s weaknesses into strengths to be admired in today’s complex society. Truly, she is a distinguished leader for women in psychology.
