The Monstrous-Feminine: Film, Feminism, Psyc… by Barbara Creed

I don't believe in psychoanalysis and this didn't convert me, although there are interesting points made here and there. If you buy the Freudian/Jungian/Lacanian unprovable mythology about a woman's psyche, you will probably love this.
