Women's Ways of Knowing Part II

How do women learn? That question was first posed in the book "Women's Ways of Knowing". This book is a rebuttal. Many criticisms popped up after the publication of WWK and these concerns are addressed in "Knowledge, Difference, and Power". I like this book because it contains those criticisms, and if you read WWK, then you'll really appreciate that. What really needs to happen, besides the writing of these books, is that men and women acknowledge that the way women learn and understand things is just as valid as the way men do. We need equality in academia at all levels, as well as equal pay if women are to truly be equal.
