Building on her first book, \u003cem\u003eMisogyny in Psychoanalysis\u003c\/em\u003e, Michaela Chamberlain moves on from a conversation to a demand for action.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on her experiences as a psychotherapist, mother, and researcher, she uses psychoanalytic theory to examine what causes misogyny and how misogyny is internalised, enacted, and justified. Revisiting Freud's case of Dora and Winnicott's concept of the \"good enough mother\", she explores how these foundational psychoanalytic ideas continue to echo in contemporary expectations placed on women - particularly around sexuality, care, and emotional labour. These essays bridge past and present, theory and lived experience, to ask what has really changed and include a much-needed update to Winnicott's list of reasons why a mother hates her baby.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom online discussion forums to classical literature, from consulting room dynamics to cultural narratives, Chamberlain investigates how misogyny hides in plain sight, often disguised as common sense, tradition, or even progressive thinking. Her work questions who benefits from patriarchy, who is harmed, and how all of us - regardless of gender - are shaped by its assumptions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAccessible yet deeply informed, \u003cem\u003eOn Resisting Women\u003c\/em\u003e invites readers into a debate about how we think, how we feel, and how we might begin to loosen misogyny's grip - not only on our systems, but on our inner worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michaela Chamberlain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1800134037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800134034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Karnac Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/19\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs","brand":"Michaela Chamberlain","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48871377142015,"sku":"9781800134034","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-resisting-women-michaela-chamberlain-9781800134034","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
