Summary: Every so often a book appears that overshadows any other on the subject. Toward a New Psychology of Woman 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 in 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 woman possess in abundance- tenderness, cooperativeness, unselfishness- have been consistently devalued as characteristics of a subordinate sex, and woman have endorses this attitude.
