In Women in College, feminist and sociologist Mirra Komarovsky
interviewed women who entered Barnard College in the fall of 1979,
finding that the demands of college life facilitated and
occasionally forced many of these women to change their
self-concept. Many felt trapped between new ideals of femininity -
including action, vigor, rational competence, and effectiveness -
and traditional notions of femininity, centered around emotional
nurturance, passivity and kindness. This study forms the basis of
her critique of the struggle that arose from the differences in
what were seen as the mutually exclusive roles of homemaker and
those who pursued work outside the home.
