Rachel Bowlby's books include Still Crazy After All These Years: Women, Writing and Psychoanalysis, which the New Statesman called 'a brilliant and shrewd, but also an intoxicatingly hopeful book', and Shopping with Freud, described by Suzanne Moore as 'a brilliant piece of literary criticism . . . a fascinating and seductive book'. Currently at the University of York, she previously taught at Sussex and Oxford after graduate work at Yale.
