Karen Horney, perhaps the first great psychoanalytic feminist, developed powerful theories to explain human behavior. Yet throughout her years of intellectual achievement, she struggled with emotional problems. This engrossing study of Horney's life and work draws on newly discovered materials to explore the relation between her personal history and the evolution of her ideas.
