Description: Notions of woman and the feminine have changed dramatically over the last decades and this is reflected in how women perceive themselves, how they are perceived by society, and how this is understood from a psychoanalytic perspective. Jessica Benjamin will talk about how feminism changed our understanding of the human psyche, including issues in psychosexual development related to gender and our rejection of normative heterosexuality. She will also reflect on her early work. She will have a conversation about these issues with Tracy Sidesinger, and Erika Lepiavka, considering new gender dynamics, the deconstruction of motherhood and women having multiple ideals.
