From the publisher

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.

“For me personally, and for many others I know, Juliet Mitchell’s Psychoanalysis and Feminism was a game changer, for the brilliance with which it made the case for Freud’s writing as an indispensable part of feminist thought. At a time when the question of how to understand human sexuality is being so hotly debated, Mitchell’s intervention could not be more pertinent today.” Jacqueline Rose

“A brave and important book, and its influence will not be confined to feminists” New York Review of Books

“A book of provocative imagination and ambition which sets out to transform our view of Freud and history.” New York Times Book Review
