"Like all sciences and all valuations, the psychology of women has hitherto been considered only from the point of view of men"

- Karen Horney

About this Quote

This quote by Karen Horney talks to the long-standing gender inequality in the field of psychology. Horney is suggesting that the psychology of ladies has actually been studied and assessed just from the perspective of guys. This indicates that the experiences and perspectives of ladies have been mainly ignored and not considered. This has actually resulted in a lack of understanding of the mental needs and experiences of ladies, and has resulted in an absence of recognition of the unique difficulties that ladies face. Horney is requiring a shift in the way that psychology is studied and assessed, so that the experiences of ladies are taken into account and given the same level of value as those of men. This would help to create a more well balanced and thorough understanding of the psychology of ladies.
