In seven essays, Pitt takes a psychoanalytical approach to understanding the place of the personal self in feminist education. In one essay, for example, she examines the ways in which fictional works of art encourage the enlargement of the Ego's libidinal attachments, thereby creating more favorable conditions for learning about social hatred and discrimination. Pitt is a professor of education at York U. in Toronto, Canada. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
