Psychoanalysis cannot account for women’s constitution as sexed subjects elsewhere

Evidence

One of the things I am doing which seems, from the outside very complicated and intellectual indeed, is to search out psycho-biographies, regulative psycho-biographies for the constitution of the sexed subject which would be outside of psychoanalysis or counter-psychoanalysis. It seems to me that when one thinks about the question of women or women specifically as sexed subject either in terms of psychoanalysis or in terms of counter-psychoanalysis, what it leaves out is the constitution of women as sexed subject outside of the arena of psycho-analysis. — Elizabeth Grosz, Criticism, Feminism and the Institution, 111
