Women in College Shaping New Feminine

In Women In College, Mirra Komarovsky followed her groundbreaking works on gender roles to focus on the essentialist debate. Komarovsky interviewed post-WWII generation female students about their feelings about gender inequality and domesticity. She makes a strong case for the role of society over biology in shaping gender roles.

Mirra Komarovsky was professor emeritus of sociology at Barnard College and past president of the American Sociological Association.
