The essays show that characteristics generally considered to be 'feminine' are in fact cultural constructions within a patriarchal order. The patriarchal culture is taken by us to be a system of meanings, as well as power relations, which pervades our view of women at both a conscious and an unconscious level.The symbolism of the rituals, myths, art works and polemics examined in the essays is related to the ways women are psychically constructed and constrainedRoutledge library editions.Feminist theory.WomenPsychologyWomenSocial conditionsElectronic books.WomenPsychology.WomenSocial conditions.301.41/2301.412305.42Lipshitz Susan978023MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462673103321Tearing the veil2228024UNINA
