IN-HOUSE - Psychoanalysis & Feminism: Book Launch with Juliet Mitchell

This ticket is for IN-HOUSE access to this event.

________________________________________________________________________

In this special evening event, we celebrate the launch of a new edition by Verso of an essential work of feminism and psychoanalytic thought. In 1974, at the height of the women’s movement, Juliet Mitchell shocked her fellow feminists by challenging the entrenched belief that Freud was the enemy. In Psychoanalysis & Feminism, she argued that a rejection of psychoanalysis as bourgeois and patriarchal was fatal for feminism.

Juliet Mitchell will be joined by academic Lili Owen Rowlands to revisit her landmark text and discuss its impact and relevance to society, culture and psychoanalysis today.
