The Feminine Mystique

Ibid., p. Thompson, op. cit., pp. 12 ff:
The war of 1914—18 further focussed attention on ego drives. Another idea came into analysis around this period…and that was that aggression as well as sex might bean important repressed impulse. The puzzling problem was how to include it in the theory of instincts. Eventually Freud solved this by his second instinct theory.
Aggression found its place as part of the death instinct. It is interesting that normal self-assertion, i.e., the impulse to master,
control or come to self-fulfilling terms with the environment, was not especially emphasized by Freud.

Kingsley Davis, The Myth of Functional
Analysis as a Special Method in Sociology and Anthropology American Sociological
Review, Vol. 24, No. 6, December, pp. 757—772. Davis points out that functionalism became more or less identical with sociology itself. There is provocative evidence that the very study of sociology, in recent years, has persuaded college women to limit themselves to their “functional”
traditional sexual role. A report on “The
Status of Women in Professional
Sociology” (Sylvia Fleis Fava, American
Sociological Review, Vol. 25, No. 2, April) shows that while most of the students in sociology undergraduate classes are women, from 1949 to 1958 there was a sharp decline in both the number and proportion of degrees in sociology awarded to women. (4,143 B.A.’s in 1949 down to a low of 3,200 in 1955, 3,606 in 1958). And while one-half to two-thirds of the undergraduate degrees in sociology were awarded to women, women received only to 43 percent of the master’s degrees, and

only 8 to 19 percent of the Ph.D.’s. While the number of women earning graduate degrees in all fields has declined sharply during the era of the feminine mystique, the field of sociology showed, in comparison to other fields, an unusually high “mortality”
rate.
