Summary

An exemplary anthology on female psychology, containing the best of both classical (c.e. psychoanalytic views on female sexuality) and feminist theories within a cultural and historical perspective. The underlying themes of the anthology are: history as the element that determines the evolution of theory yet at the same time emphasizes its continuity; psychoanalysis as a key to reading the female psychology; and culture as an element that differentiates orientations according to the traditions or the places where they were formulated. Paper edition (unseen), $25. Annotation(c) 2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
