Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nancy Chodorow's theory of gender development was heavily influenced by Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory, particularly his theories on the Oedipus complex and the role of the mother in a child's development. Chodorow's work emphasizes the ways in which young girls develop a sense of self and femininity through their relationship with their mother, and how this differs from boys' development. However, it should be noted that Chodorow also draws on insights from other theorists, including George Herbert Mead and Carol Gilligan.
