Produktbeschreibung
One of the most significant and enduring texts in psychology and gender studies, now with a new introduction by Gloria Steinem. Since its publication in 1976, Dorothy Dinnerstein's The Mermaid and the Minotaur has been recognized as one of the most important contributions to modern feminist thought. The book, translated into at least seven languages, is widely used in women's studies courses and is an influential text outside academia as well. Comparing Dinnerstein's book to Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex, one reviewer declared that this groundbreaking essay not only belongs in "every feminist library" but in the "library of every well-educated person." In this work, Dinnerstein challenges the ideology underlying the female monopoly of childcare. A seminal feminist text, The Mermaid and the Minotaur brilliantly integrates feminist theory with Kleinian psychoanalytical theory.
