Summary : During her youth, Helene Rosenbach (who later became Helen Deutsch after marriage) became involved in the defence of socialist ideals with Herman Lieberman, a Polish politician. Their relations lasted for more than ten years. She went with him to an International Socialist Conference in 1910 and met the majority of key socialist figures, such as the charismatic women : Angelica Balabanoff and Rosa Luxemburg. Helene identified with these two women, who played a determining role in her life. Reading her autobiography and comparing it with sources of this time, we noticed some errors, which accentuate the importance of these meetings for Helen. The portrait that is derived from Helene Deutsch, in these years when she was fascinated by women revolutionaries impregnated with socialist ideas, contrasts strongly with the image that we perceive, in which she is one of the greatest psychoanalysts of this period, known for its theorization of femininity and feminine sexuality. |
