Zusatztext "A passionate investigation of the process of integrating women into Ivy League education. . . . The book will be indispensable to those who in the future pursue research on higher education or on these specific institutions. It is an epic book on an epic topic that is well worth studying." ---Christine D. Myers, Historical Studies in Education Informationen zum Autor Nancy Weiss Malkiel is professor emeritus of history at Princeton University, where she was the longest-serving dean of the college.
