    As described in Obrecht’s 2025 book review, Psychoanalytic Perspectives, 22, 473-480,

    “Nasty Women”—Reclaiming the Power of Female Aggression: A Psychoanalytic Perspective, is an urgently relevant, compulsively readable evocation of the conflicts women continue to face around expression of their aggression in the workplace and in the world. Using her own family history, two case examples from her clinical practice, a revisiting of the third Clinton/Trump 2016 presidential debate, Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings, and a fascinating survey of six highly accomplished professional women, Zuckerman explores how women struggle to navigate expressions of aggression within culturally imposed restrictions.
