Christiana Morgan was an erotic muse who influenced twentieth-century psychology and inspired its male creators, including C G Jung, who saw in her the quintessential 'anima woman.' This biography explores how Morgan yearned to express her genius yet sublimated it to spark not only Jung but also her own lover Henry A Murray. "Douglas's combination of biographical and analytic investigation invites a rethinking of what constitutes the psychic factors of women's lives and the psychology of gifted women in particular. [This book] brings a much-needed challenge to the post-Jungian and post-Freudian worldview."---Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Washington Post
