This text is a collection of articles published by the author in psychoanalytic journals. Of the first half of articles I could make sense, of the second half not so much. A general idea in the articles is, to provide a genuinely female approach to psychoanalysis. For example, the author argues that "penis envy" does not play the central role in female psychology that Freud attributes to it.

My greatest objection towards the text is that the book does not contain any material from the personal life/experience of the author. As such, the text is often rather theoretical. Also, I sometimes had the feeling that more energy (i.e., lines of text) is spent to refute existing theories than to simply state why the authors theories seem more legitimate. ( )
