Sharon Jackiw Associate Dean of the College Associate Professor of German Jeanne Faria, Secretary | am a student and teacher of German language, lit- erature, and civilization, a civilization renowned for its great thinkers. Before coming to Wheaton, | had learned and taught only in coeducational institutions. Being at Wheaton has given me a fresh perspective on all those great thinkers and their great thoughts; may | quote just two illustrative examples?’ ‘‘Men have broad shoulders and narrow hips, and accordingly they possess intelligence. Women have narrow shoulders and broad hips. Women ought to stay at home; the way they were created indicates this, for they have broad hips and a wide fundament to sit upon, keep house and bear and raise children.”’ (Luther, ese ‘| have promised to tell you of a few more physical peculiarities of mature femininity . We attribute a larger amount of narcissism to femininity, which also affects woman’s choice of object, so that to be loved is a stronger need for them than to love. The effect of penis envy has a share, further, in the physical vanity of women, since they are bound to value their charms more highly as a late compensation for their original sexual inferiority. Shame, which is to be consid- ered a feminine characteristic PAR EXCELLENCE but is far more a matter of convention than might be supposed, has as its purpose, we believe, concealment of genital deficiency . The fact that women must be regarded as hav- ing little sense of justice is no doubt related to the predominance of envy in their mental life;| for the demand for justice as a modification of envy and lays down the condition subject to which one can put envy aside. We also regard women as weaker in their social interests and as having less capacity for subliming their instincts thanmen. . . ' (Freud, 1932) | can somehow no longer bring to these views all my former detached scholarly interest. In fact, my respon- ses now range from wild hilarity to pessimistic despair. This, | think, is what my students mean when they describe a course of study as having relevance for them.” 25
