ABSTRACT

Questioning what women want became popular after Sigmund Freud asked the question of Marie Bonaparte in the 1930s (Jones, 1955). His version of the question, as many others have been, was an exasperated plea prompted by a genuine lack of understanding of women’s motivations (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2013). Other men have contended that women’s goals are unreasonable rather than mysterious.
