Opis

What explains the progress that American women have made since the 1960s? While many point to the feminist movement, this book argues that higher education policies paved the way for women to surpass men as the recipients of bachelor's degrees and helped them move toward full, first-class citizenship.

Recenzje

This book keenly demonstrates the value of cross disciplinaryanalysis. Rose carefully explores the history of three legislative developments while pushing historians to recognize their unintentional - though hugely significant - benefits to women. In this, she offers a new conception of how gender, higher education, and citizenship interact.
