• Raphael-Leff’s inquiry into femininity, the unconscious, gender and generative identity, in a bio-technological age, argues that a basis of psychoanalytic theory in place throughout Sigmund Freud’s life was the limitation of femininity and masculinity on original bisexuality. On discovering that women who delayed motherhood have been secretly harbouring conflict and resistance to dominant societal expectations within the ‘normative framework’, the gender issue emerged as an argument against fundamental inequality. Feminist vocabulary, ignored in early modern studies, is more elaborate and subsequently more prominent, outside of those traditions that focus on historiographical material meant to privilege social history. The feminine as an aspect of men and the masculine as an aspect of women became tangled up in Jung’s reflections between biological bodies, the embodiment of archetype and effects of culture and the collective unconscious. The assumptions of heterosexuality and gender certainty have been problematic for the classical Jungian canon when masculine and feminine are concretized.
