Psychoanalysis and Feminism: A Radical Reassessment of Freudian Psychoanalysis

Psychoanalysis and Feminism presents a profound and groundbreaking case for Freud’s writing as an indispensable part of feminist thought. As Juliet Mitchell argues, if we are truly interested in understanding and challenging women’s oppression, we cannot ignore psychoanalysis.

Original and provocative, Mitchell’s book remains an essential addition to the feminist canon and a radical re-evaluation of psychoanalytic theory.

Juliet Mitchell is Professor of Psychoanalysis and Gender Studies at the University Cambridge. She is the author of Psychoanalysis and Feminism, Siblings: Sex and Violence, and Mad Men and Medusas.
