Women, 'false' memory, and personal identity
Author is concerned with how the contesting of memory claims and narratives may be an integral part of many abusive situations. Campbell is using the writings of Otto Weiniger and the False Memory Syndrome Foundation to explore a particular strategy of discrediting women as rememberers, making them more vulnerable to sexual harm. This strategy relies on the presentation of women as unable to maintain a stable enough sense of self or identity to be trustworthy testifiers to their own harm.
