What Do Women Want - Softcover

The classic, groundbreaking guide...completely revised and with a new introduction.

Even in our supposedly feminist society, women have found it difficult to achieve true independence--they continue to struggle with dependency issues in their relationships with their mothers, their lovers, and themselves. Now, with a new introduction, Luise Eichenbaum and Susie Orbach offer compelling portraits and insightful case histories that explore dependency as a basic human need rather than a sign of weakness. Their conclusions will radically change women's lives and relationships for the better--and offer a more insightful, inclusive vision of intimacy for the next millennium.
