Despite the fact that feminism has recognised psychoanalysis to be a theory with direct application to the understanding of sexism for over 50 years, the application of psychoanalytic thinking to feminist activism has yet to be significantly realised. Using the work of Julia Kristeva, sexism is described as a symptom of an intolerable situation…

There is movement here but hardly ever in a direct line. These essays were also written for myself as a way of clarifying what strategies and methodologies I might employ in writing a book on the culture of the nineteenth-century British middle class. It is this effort at self-help that accounts for the dominance here o
