Psychoanalysis and Feminism

Juliet Mitchell FBA is Emeritus Professor at the universities of Cambridge and London, and the Founder Director of the Centre for Gender Studies at the University of Cambridge. Her books include Women: The Longest Revolution, Woman's Estate, Mad Men and Medusas, Siblings: Sex and Violence, and, most recently, Fratriarchy.

`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.'
