Full Description
Sometimes championed as a liberator of women, Freud has also been virulently attacked for his theories of the feminine and for elevating his personal prejudices to the height of universal pronouncement. Freuds Women probes biography and case history, mines dreams, correspondence and journals, and examines theory to chart Freuds views on femininity. It also tells the many stories of Freuds women and explores their influence on him and his on them: devoted daughter Anna, who carried on his work; the novelist and turn-of-the-century femme fatale Lou Salomi; Marie Bonaparte, who mixed royalty and perversity with effortless ease and became the head of the French psychoanalytic movement; the early hysterics who were the cornerstone of psychoanalysisall these and more emerge vividly from the pages of this important study, as it assesses Freud's contemporary legacy.A marvelously rich and engrossing work of intellectual history, deftly composed. The New York Times Book ReviewAn ambitious history of Freud's relationships with women-from dutiful daughter to psychoanalytical disciple, from classic hysteric to feminist critic . . . a lucid, sympathetic account. The Times Literary Supplement Books of the Year
