Freud's Women

“A marvelously rich and engrossing work of intellectual history, deftly composed.”
- Richard Wollheim, The New York Times Book Review

“An ambitious history of Freud’s relationships with women--a lucid, sympathetic account.”
-Times Literary Supplement, Books of the Year

“This wonderful book is the tale of the great twentieth-century love affair with Freudian thought. It is an overblown historical romance that has at its centre the riddle of femininity itself.”
-Suzanne Moore, The Guardian
