"Brings together papers by leading analysts and feminists and charts the evolution of the psychology of women through theoretical differences between feminists and psychoanalysts." * Studies on Women Abstracts *
"Unlike other collections of papers on female development, this anthology is the first one to put classical and feminist theories within a cultural and historical perspective. It puts famous papers from French feminists (Mitchell, Irigarary, Montrelay, and Kristeva) with essential papers written by American feminists (Dinnerstein, Chodorow, Miller, Benjamin, and Gilligan) and selects a wide range of papers from Europe and the United States that depict crucial issues in the history of psychoanalytic thought on female development (Brunswick, Klein, McDougall, and Stoller)." * Psychoanalytic Books: A Quarterly Journal of Reviews *
