The personal story of Emma Jung’s marriage to Carl Gustav Jung and her critical impact on the early years of the psychoanalytic movement. A sensational portrait of a highly unconventional woman, based on letters and other rich archive material – never before published. Emma Jung was clever and ambitious, and passionately in love with her husband. She fought with everything she had to keep him, in spite of his complex personality, profoundly affected by the sexual abuse he’d suffered as a child, and his many affairs with other women. Starting life as the innocent, naive daughter of a wealthy, conventional Swiss bourgeois family, she emerges from the storms of her early marriage as a strong and highly unconventional woman, even accepting a menage a trois, and actively pursuing a career of her own – a feminist before her time.
