Description

Feminism and Psychoanalytic Theory by Nancy Chodorow is a comprehensive exploration of the intersection between psychoanalysis and feminist theory. This long-awaited book traces the development of Chodorow's views on the psychodynamics, sociology, and culture of gender, drawing on both her pathbreaking work in The Reproduction of Mothering and new writings. Chodorow examines how our unconscious awareness of self and gender develops from earliest infancy, shaping both our individual experiences as men and women and the patterns of inequality and difference that exist throughout society and culture. Through a deepening analysis of these issues, Chodorow puts both Freudian theory and feminist perspectives to the test. This collection of essays is a valuable contribution to the debate on gender and sexual identity, offering insights into topics such as maternal care, social oppression, Oedipal conflict, and heterosexual identification.
