Feminism and postmodernism both repel and attract each other. To weave them together requires a philosophcal outlook that can only emerge from within the tension between these two worlds. Now that the individual has found in the social fabric a psychic representation of self that is not rigidly confined in a masculine or feminine persona, can she still find a reason to fight for justice and sexual equality? Or is it that postmodernism will always hide in its folds a fundamental suspicion of the feminine, allowing the feminists to continue their never-ending struggle?

This powerful collection of essays, edited by Muriel Dimen and Virginia Goldner, demonstrates that there is a way to bridge the gap between the personal side of feminism and its broader social consequences. This groundbreaking new work links the psychic and the social in the construction of gender and sexual subjectivity, using the clinical setting as a space in which to explore categories and manifestations of gender.
