Mitchell's re-evaluation of psychoanalytic theory joins Verso's Essential Psychoanalysis series.
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.
"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
