Christiana Morgan

Christiana Morgan was born into the beginning of 1900 America. She came of age, a debutante in Boston society, when theories of the mind were being reinvented by men like Freud and Jung. She was an artist and a writer, fascinated by the unconscious. She was a passionate and sometimes sadistic lover. She loved many men; a soldier of WWI, most famously a psychoanalyst at Harvard Harry A. Murray. Carl Jung considered her the manifestation of the perfect feminine, une femme inspiratrice whose role was to act as a muse to great men. But, she had genius of her own to nurture. She created mythic visions chronicling her struggle with the feminine and masculine forces in her world. She played a vital role in inventing the Thematic Apperception Test a way to illicit fantasy still used today. It is concidered the most used projective psychological tests, yet her name was virtually erased from the history books and from the publication of the test. She committed suicide at 69 years old.
