Summary

• "In this new text, Colette Soler spins out explications of Lacan's thought on the controversial question of sexual difference.
• With the subtlety that these topics deserve, she takes up Lacan's conception of woman and her relation to masochism, femininity and hysteria, love and death, and the impossible sexual relation. What Lacan Said about Women also explores the mother's place in the unconscious, how Lacan understands depression, and why depressives feel unloved.
• Soler's analysis examines the cultural implications of the texts that Lacan produced from the 1950s to the 1970s, such as the effects of science on contemporary conceptions of the feminine."--Jacket.
