Freud’s formulation of femininity, which the author contends is mistaken, is seen not as a simple error but as resulting from a complex bias in which personal and social factors are interrelated. The author proposes that the considerable ambivalence experienced by Freud about his sexual, cultural, and social identity, in which both overt and covert aspects of his Jewish culture survived, could not be surmounted by him in the case of women. Estelle Roith describes Freud’s theory of femininity and its implications for psychoanalytic theories of human development and motivation in general. She examines Freud’s relationships with his women disciples and also the social and political conditions that obtained for Jews of Freud’s time. Finally, her book helps illuminate the reasons for Freud’s emphasis on the paternal power within the Oedipus complex. It will be essential reading for psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, for students of women’s issues, and all those interested in Freud's impact on contemporary Western thought.
