A new exhibition at a museum explores the lives and contributions of women associated with Sigmund Freud, including his family members and psychoanalytic colleagues. The show features historical subjects such as Freud's daughter Anna and her partner Dorothy Burlingham, who influenced his work and contributed to analytical practice in the early 20th century. It also highlights women like Susie Orbach, a co-founder of the Women's Therapy Centre during the Second Wave of feminism in 1976. The exhibition aims to bring to life the diverse perspectives of women connected to Freud's history and legacy, showcasing their experiences and achievements through various artworks and artifacts.
