The authoress of this book is well known in psycho-analytical circles as a psychologist and sociologist who possesses considerable knowledge of analytical theory. She addresses herself here to the difficult task of helping women to cope with their characteristic forms of anxiety. In doing so she uses only popular language and eschews all technical expressions. Nevertheless she skilfully leads the reader on to some degree of awareness of fundamental problems in feminine psychology, notably those of repressed sexuality and aggressivity. The book is throughout enlivened with stories of actual people and situations, the dialogue of which is convincingly reproduced. The tone of the book is characterized by a fund of good sense, good humour and sympathetic understanding. We have no doubt it will excellently fulfil the purpose for which it was written.
