DESCRIPTION:Woman and Love \n\nWhy is love so important to women? Why are 
 women supposedly more devastated than men when they separate? We are often
  told that women are very difficult to satisfy – if this is true\, what 
 has displeasure to do with femininity? Do women visit psychoanalysts more 
 than men do? If so\, is it because they suffer more? Is there any chance o
 f finding a point of convergence between the "sexes"?  Freud said that fem
 ininity is a dark continent\, while Lacan described loving as giving somet
 hing which you do not have. We will try to elucidate these enigmatic phras
 es and to shed some psychoanalytic light on femininity.\n\nBiography:\nIro
