Download or read book Post Grad written by Caroline Kitchener and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-04-11 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An honest and deeply reported account of five women and the opportunities and frustrations they face in the year following their graduation from an elite university. Recent Princeton graduate Caroline Kitchener weaves together her experiences from her first year after college with that of four of her peers in order to delve more deeply into what the world now offers a female college graduate, and how the world perceives them. Each of the five girls in this diverse group were expected to attend college—but most had no clear expectations for their futures post-graduation. And as Kitchener follows each member of the group, it becomes harder to reduce them to stereotypes, harder either to defend or to judge their choices. Kitchener navigates expertly between the very personal and the wider sociological perspectives as she outlines a chronological year in the lives of all five women, illuminating and clarifying each one of their choices, victories, and foibles. Both a broad and an intensely individual exploration, Post Grad is a portrait of the shifting environment of that important year after graduation, as well as an intimate look at how a select group of very different individuals handles its challenges—navigating family tensions, relationships, jobs, and that ever-elusive notion of independence.
Download or read book College Women and Fertility Values written by Charles F. Westoff and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has the college experience of women been an influence on the number of children desired and the number and spacing of their children? Do women come to college with their attitudes and values in this regard already formed? This study of 15,000 women, freshmen and seniors in 45 American colleges and universities, both secular and nonsecular, attempts to answer this question and to determine how such characteristics as religious preference, career intentions, and the number of children in her own family influence a woman's fertility values. Attention is paid to an earlier finding that Catholic college graduates have higher fertility than Catholic high school graduates, although higher education is usually associated with lower fertility.

Download or read book University and College Women s and Gender Equity Centers written by Brenda Bethman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: University and College Women’s and Gender Equity Centers examines the new institutional contexts surrounding women’s centers. It looks at the possibilities for, as well as the challenges to, advocating for gender equity in higher education, and the ways in which women’s and gender equity centers contribute to and lead that work. The book first describes the landscape of women’s centers in higher education and explores the structures within which the centers are situated. In doing so, the book shows the ways in which many women’s centers have expanded their work to include working with athletics, Greek life, men, transgender students, international students, student parents, veterans, etc. Contributions then delve into the profession of women’s center work itself, and ask how women’s center work has become "professionalized?" Threats and challenges to women’s and gender equity centers are also explored, as contributions look at how their expansion has helped or complicated the role of centers? The collection concludes by highlighting current successes and forward-thinking approaches in women’s centers and asking how gender equity centers can best prepare for the future? Through narratives, case studies, and by offering strategies and best practice, University and College Women’s and Gender Equity Centers will engage emerging and existing equity centre professionals and women’s and gender studies faculty and students and help them to move the work of gender equity forward in the next decade.

Download or read book College Women In The Nuclear Age written by Babette Faehmel and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-08 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the popular imagination, American women during the time between the end of World War II and the 1960s—the era of the so-called “feminine mystique”—were ultraconservative and passive. College Women in the Nuclear Age takes a fresh look at these women, showing them actively searching for their place in the world while engaging with the larger intellectual and political movements of the times. Drawing from the letters and diaries of young women in the Cold War era, Babette Faehmel seeks to restore their unique voices and to chronicle their collective ambitions. She also explores the shifting roles that higher education played in establishing these hopes and dreams, making the case that the GI Bill served to diminish the ambitions of many American women even as it opened opportunities for many American men. A treasure-trove of original research, the book should stimulate scholarly discussion and captivate any reader interested in the thoughts and lives of American women.
Download or read book The Complete Handbook for College Women written by Carol Weinberg and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1994-07-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly, college is portrayed as posing as many perils for young women as it does opportunities and challenges. The cover of The New York Times Magazine tells us that "Crime Turns The Campus into an Armed Campr" at the same time that dozens of schools experience painful racial upheavals. Date rape, eating disorders, drugs and alcohol, hate crimes, the recent firestorm over political correctnessall have combined recently to make college seem a daunting, even threatening experience. This need not be so, says Carol Weinberg, and in The Complete Handbook for College Women she provides concrete, incisive advice to help young women make the most of their college experience. Away from home for the first time, in an unfamiliar environment, paired with a stranger as a roommate, the college student faces a number of imposing academic and social challenges. As an experienced college administrator who has spent over twenty years working with students at a range of colleges, Weinberg is an ideally suited guide to help young women navigate their way through what may well be the most formative experience of their lives. Written in a straight-forward, personable manner, The Complete Handbook for College Women is must reading for both college- bound women and students already at school, as well as a valuable guide for administrators, parents, and anyone involved with higher education. Issues discussed include: first arrival and issues of independence and responsibility; family ties and loneliness; assertiveness and conflict resolution; physical and emotional health; eating disorders; alcohol and drugs; codependency; sexuality; sexual harassment; sexual abuse, rape, and personal safety; and the many components of living in a diverse environment, such as ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, class, disability, age, and appearance.

Download or read book Public Medievalists Racism and Suffrage in the American Women s College written by Mary Dockray-Miller and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study, part of growing interest in the study of nineteenth-century medievalism and Anglo-Saxonism, closely examines the intersections of race, class, and gender in the teaching of Anglo-Saxon in the American women’s colleges before World War I, interrogating the ways that the positioning of Anglo-Saxon as the historical core of the collegiate English curriculum also silently perpetuated mythologies about Manifest Destiny, male superiority, and the primacy of northern European ancestry in United States culture at large. Analysis of college curricula and biographies of female professors demonstrates the ways that women used Anglo-Saxon as a means to professional opportunity and political expression, especially in the suffrage movement, even as that legitimacy and respectability was freighted with largely unarticulated assumptions of racist and sexist privilege. The study concludes by connecting this historical analysis with current charged discussions about the intersections of race, class, and gender on college campuses and throughout US culture.
