To make the case that contemporaneous antisemitism shaped Freud's thought, Gilman provides a catalogue of the most egregious antisemitic stereotypes of the time and place, including straightforward documentation of certain anti-Semitic prejudices, such as the belief in Jewish male menstruation,[5] as well as period depictions of anti-Semitic stereotypes in graphic media.
