Marjorie Harness Goodwin’s study of children’s talk provides the best and most comprehensive analysis of gender differences in interaction, situated in the broader context of children’s social organization. She didn’t set up experiments; she didn’t just take field notes. She hung around with the children in her neighborhood until they trusted her, then tape-recorded their natural conversations as they played together. This is Goodwin’s long-awaited compilation of years of painstaking analysis
