Psychoanalysis and Feminism (Juliet Mitchell)

Psychoanalysis and Feminism is a profound and groundbreaking challenge to the entrenched belief that Freud was the enemy. Rather, Mitchell argued that a rejection of psychoanalysis as bourgeois and patriarchal was fatal for feminism. However, it may have been used, she pointed out, psychoanalysis is not a recommendation for a patriarchal society, but rather an analysis of one.

Original and provocative, this book remains an essential component of the feminist canon and a radical re-evaluation of psychoanalytic theory.
