I did not begin to work seriously with the zones of the body until I went to the
Arapesh in 1931. While I was generally familiar with Freud’s basic work on the subject, I had not seen how it might be applied in the field until I read Geza
Roheim’s first field report, Psychoanalysis of Primitive Culture Types I then sent home for abstracts of K. Abraham’s work.
After I became acquainted with Erik
Homburger Erikson’s systematic handling of these ideas, they became an integral part

of my theoretical equipment.

Mabel Newcomer, A Century of Higher
Education for Women, New York, 1959, pp ff. The proportion of women among college students in the US. increased from


21 percent into percent in it had declined to 35. 2 percent in Five women’s colleges had closed 21 had become coeducational 2 had become junior colleges. In 1956, 3 out of 5 women in the coeducational colleges were taking secretarial, nursing, home economics, or education courses. Less than 1 out of doctorates were granted to women,
compared to 1 in 6 in 1920, 13 percent in. Not since before World War I have the percentages of American women receiving professional degrees been as consistently low as in this period. The extent of the retrogression of American women can also be measured in terms of their failure to develop to their own potential. According to Womanpower, of all the young women capable of doing college work, only one out of four goes to college,
compared to one out of two men only one out of 300 women capable of earning a
Ph.D. actually does so, compared to one out of 30 men. If the present situation continues, American women may soon rank among the most backward women in the world. The US. is probably the only nation where the proportion of women gaining

higher education has decreased in the past years it has steadily increased in
Sweden, Britain, and France, as well as the emerging nations of Asia and the communist countries. By the s, a larger proportion of Frenchwomen were obtaining higher education than American women the proportion of Frenchwomen in the professions had more than doubled in fifty years. The proportion of Frenchwomen in the medical profession alone is five times that of American women 70 percent of the doctors in the Soviet Union are women,
compared to 5 percent in America. See Alva
