The Ivy League institution dedicated to graduating 'one thousand male leaders' each year had finally decided to open its doors to the nation's top female students. The landmark decision was a huge step forward for women's equality in education. Or was it? The experience the first undergraduate women found when they stepped onto Yale's imposing campus was not the same one their male peers enjoyed. Isolated from one another, singled out as oddities and sexual objects, and barred from many of the privileges an elite education was supposed to offer, many of the first girls found themselves immersed in an overwhelmingly male culture they were unprepared to face. This is the story of how these young women fought against the backward-leaning traditions of a centuries-old institution and created the opportunities that would carry them into the future. 610 20 Yale University|xHistory|vSound recordings. 650 0 Women in higher education|vSound recordings. 650 0 Sexism in higher education|vSound recordings. 650 0 Women college students|zConnecticut|zNew Haven|xHistory |vSound recordings. 655 7 Audiobooks.|2lcgft 700 1 Bennett, Erin,|enarrator.
