The conclusion provides an overview of the analysis of individual texts and explains their connections. The continuation of the tradition appears in a brief discussion of the female ghost in Natashia Deón’s recent novel, Grace. The persistence of the female ghost in popular culture over a long time period and in many genres suggests that this figure provides an effective outlet for deep cultural concerns. The narratives covered in The Untold Story reveal that, although the female ghost is by definition disembodied, she encapsulates the feminine body, especially the power of the maternal body. The female ghost confronts issues of narrative control and language, with the figure presenting an alternative to male-dominated discourse. Relationships between women living and dead develop, promoting the idea of feminine solidarity. And male characters are educated, usually against their will, into an understanding of alternative paths to knowledge.Less

This chapter focuses on the division of people into kinds, concentrating on the biological status, and classification and grouping of geographical races. It argues that classifying by race is meaningless from a biological point of view. Sociological concepts within the subgroup lead to more complex understanding of discrimination and learning about biological reality. Sex and gender are articulated as having a more solid biological basis putting into perspective how people apply gender into cultures in a society. There are instances that an act is a cultural and not a biological evolution as exemplified in human perception of gender differences. This is where evolution has some limitations on understanding sexual differences and the study on this matter is constrained and can be misleading if evolutionary reflections are used to understand the phenomena of gender and race equality.Less

Among the many female characters that Qur'anic sacred history depicts for the faithful, the image of Joseph's mistress, the wife of his Egyptian master, stands out by its intricacy. In the story, the themes of female desire and craftiness and combined with fidelity, love, honesty, and repentance. As a Qur'anic metaphor, this tale represents the best and the worst in woman's nature on the terrestrial plain. It may be the most penetrating in terms of female psychology of all the Qur'anic women's stories. In this story, the protagonist represents the unwavering power of female unselfish love and faithfulness, and is rewarded with bliss and joy with the beloved.Less

This chapter serves as an overview of the influence of gender within the psychoanalytic situation. It first studies how the views on the determinants of transference and its interaction with countertransference, followed by a brief look at the assumption of penis envy is common and a basic of female psychology. An outline of the relationship of gender issues and sexuality and how these are changed during development is found in the next section. This chapter ends with a discussion of technical neutrality, the possibility that there is a difference in the analyst's treatment of female and male patients, and the analytic couple and the loving couple.Less
