Being alone and with other women, 1993, n. 18-19, pp. 20-27
The author looks back on her experience as child analyst with little girls, and to the process which allowed her to identify and conceptualise "the baby of the night", that phantasmatic baby which is so often present in the fantasies of little girls, pre-existing the experience of pregnancy and generation.
Her focus is on the importance of a political context, of a feminist culture which helped her to develop and to enrich her hypothesis. "What matters - she writes - is my awareness that a gendered knowledge, which I had found in my clinical work with little girls, would never have become a shared theory (which also means the possibility to disagree) without the women's movement, their capacity to listen, to re-think and elaborate, to communicate".
