Advance Praise for Women: Biology, Culture and Literature:

“Howard Schwartz, drawing upon his education in the liberal arts, medicine, and psychoanalysis, his experience as a clinician, his talents as a storyteller, and his personality as hamish, returns to themes he has explored  earlier, and focuses our attention on issues that are as contemporary as they are ancient. Embryology, mythology, the literature of Japan, Virginia Woolf, Christine Blasey Ford, autobiographical touches—and much more—are amalgamated here in a manner that will inform but also challenge readers to probe their
own set of axioms.”
—CHARLES GOODSTEIN, MD, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, former Chair, Child & Adolescent Psychoanalysis at PANY, Affiliated with NYU Langone School of Medicine

“Dr. Schwartz in his usual erudite humanist and free associative style writes about women heroes. To this reader he awakens the evolu0on in my perception of the sexes from men of our genera0on, who have developed the flexibility to adapt our thinking from the era of “Father Knows Best” to the present. I now celebrate the difference between the sexes that are equally different and equally capable of achieving what they set out to do.”
—ROBERT SCHWARTZ, MD, Child & Adolescent Training & Supervising Analyst at PANY.

“His ‘near-total engagement’ with Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s and Brett Kavanaugh’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee propelled Dr. Howard Schwartz, a psychoanalyst, into an exploration of the lives of
famous—real and unreal—women, such as Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Christine Ford, the biblical Queen Esther, Lady Murasaki, author of The Tale of Genji, the goddess Athena, Tolstoy ’s Anna Karenina. In this moving and memorable book, the author, aided by his analytical skills, and a finely
tuned perception, uses his in-depth knowledge of modern literature (Virginia Woolf, J.D. Salinger, Lauren Groff) to present the reader with thoughtful and surprising new insights. Don’t miss this challenging read!“
