Description: Following the International Women's Year in 1975, a group of men and women met every month for a year at the home of psychoanalyst Edith Weigert to reflect on what was then called the "psychology of women." Recently, a few members of that original group, joined by several others, began a seminar on gender and psychoanalysis with the goal of reexamining old and new writings in feminism, psychoanalysis, and related fields. The nine essays in this book are a result of those discussions.

Written by distinguished and varied contributors, they explore the complex relationship between feminism and psychoanalysis and address broader questions of gender.
