Sobre IBD

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.
