One is left smiling and only gradually does one realize the lightness has touched the profound.'</strong> <em>- Juliet Mitchell</em><br /><strong>'Rachel Bowlby's subtle, intelligent and provocative book is among the most persuasive literary arguments I have read for the inextricable relations between feminism and psychoanalysis.'</strong> <em>- Mary Jacobus, Cornell University</em></p>
