C. G. Jung is no feminist. He had no interest in the restrictive conventions of his social world changing to include women as full subjects. Indeed, he made silly remarks about women in his Collected Works, because he collapsed his notion of the feminine in men, the anima, into unsubstantiated opinions of the “true nature” of women. Like Freud, he also mistook sexuality as a developmental issue when it is an archetypal one. And yet, arguably, Jung offers feminism a lot. For Jung’s work is dedicated to restoring the soul of western modernity, which can only be done, as he knew, by excavating a lost, marginalized and despised feminine.
