Women on Campus

Women on Campus is a collection of compelling essays from the staff of Change, the foremost monthly magazine on American higher learning. This widely praised collection of essays on the feminist struggle for greater participation in American academic life presents a portrait that was rarely reflected in the academic journals. In this classic volume, now available in paperback, a wide spectrum of distinguished, outspoken authors discuss what, when it was originally published, was one of the major goals of American women: full equality in campus life.

"has been getting on without half the research talent and teaching skill it might have laid claim to just by ignoring women."
