The last of the Bonaparte family, the great-niece of Napoleon, a student of Freud, Marie Bonaparte proceeds in her work from the theory that in every person the feminine and masculine principles initially coexist. This is reminiscent of the anime and animus described in detail by Carl Jung, but in this case we are talking about the biological prerequisites for bisexuality. A woman has two sexual organs — the clitoris and the vagina. A «clitorocentric» woman enters into competition with a man, takes an active position, both in sex and in society. In order for a woman to accept her feminine role, she needs to switch from the clitoris to the vagina, first, and, secondly, overcome her body’s protest against penetration. Something in the work of M. Bonaparte seems to be an anachronism, like the phrase about «normal copulation, when a woman lies on her back, and a man is located above her.» But the topics covered in it are relevant to this day.
