Leaving our fathers’ house

Abstract

What does it mean to leave one’s father’s house? Archetypally, the father’s house represents the dominant content of a culture’s collective consciousness, as well as dominance in the form of tyranny and fear. There is little question that contemporary organizations remain edifices constructed in the image of the father’s house. This article is about articulating barriers to conscious femininity in organizational contexts, drawing on psychoanalytic theory and personal experience to explore some of the social and psychological structures that contribute to the repression of feminine attributes.
