This is the first volume in a unique series arising out of the Committee on Women and Psychoanalysis. This volume presents a collection of highly original and insightful essays broadly concerned with the study of the psychic corollaries of women's physical experience. 'I particularly welcome this series because it will stimulate us to go on thinking about feminine issues, and its international dimension will allow us to share thoughts with authors from all over the world… [It] will become a source of inspiration to many generations of colleagues and it deserves to be a success. I highly commend this book.' - Joyce McDougall.
