Through the use of primary sources of early women's organizations, commissions, and continuing education institutions, Eisenmann explains the actions of a group of women in higher education, while noting the racial and class differences all along the way. The book will expand our understanding of this era.

From the Publisher
No other history of this era has explored so many facets of American gender ideology, including economic, cultural, and psychological ideologies. Eisenmann offers well-supported and original arguments that will make this book a 'must read' not only for historians of higher education and American women but also for women who lived through the experiences described in the book.—Lynn D.
