“Morphological analysis of the brains from humans with different sexual orientations and identities ... may lead to further deductions concerning the possible influences of sex hormones on the structure and function of the human brain" (Allen”
Elizabeth A. Wilson, Psychosomatic: Feminism and the Neurological Body

“Rather, my point is that the cultural, social, linguistic, literary, and historical analyses that now dominate the scene of feminist theory typically seek to seal themselves off from-or constitute themselves against-the domain of the biological. Curiously enough, feminist theories of the body are often exemplary in this regard. Despite the intensive scrutiny of the body in feminist theory and in the humanities in general over the past two decades, certain fundamental aspects of the body, biology, and materiality have been foreclosed.”
Elizabeth A. Wilson, Psychosomatic: Feminism and the Neurological Body

“Neurasthenic symptoms are somatic or bodily rather than psychic in origin, and are not amenable to psychoanalytic intervention: "The essence of the theories about the `actual neuroses' which I have put forward in the past and am defending to-day lies in my assertion, based on experiment, that their symptoms, unlike psychoneurotic ones, cannot be analyzed.”
