Coeducation met with fierce resistance. As one alumnus put it in a letter to his alma mater, Keep the damned women out. Focusing on the complexities of institutional decision making, this book tells the story of this momentous era in higher education--revealing how coeducation was achieved not by organized efforts of women activists, but through strategic decisions made by powerful men. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn America, Ivy League schools like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Dartmouth began to admit women; in Britain, several of the men's colleges at Cambridge and Oxford did the same. What prompted such fundamental change? How was coeducation accomplished in the face of such strong opposition? How well was it implemented? Nancy Weiss Malkiel explains that elite institutions embarked on coeducation not as a moral imperative but as a self-interested means of maintaining a first-rate applicant pool. She explores the challenges of planning for the academic and non-academic lives of newly admitted women, and shows how, with the exception of Mary Ingraham Bunting at Radcliffe, every decision maker leading the charge for coeducation was male. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on unprecedented archival research, \u003ci\u003e\"Keep the Damned Women Out\"\u003c\/i\u003e is a breathtaking work of scholarship that is certain to be the definitive book on the subject.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11965079\"\u003eNancy Weiss Malkiel\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/29\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691181110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 069118111X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-EDU\"\u003eEducation\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-EDU015000\"\u003eSchools | Levels | Higher\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-EDU\"\u003eEducation\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-EDU016000\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-EDU\"\u003eEducation\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-EDU034000\"\u003eEducational Policy \u0026amp; Reform\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNancy Weiss Malkiel\u003c\/b\u003e is professor emeritus of history at Princeton University, where she was the longest-serving dean of the college.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42646981116141,"sku":"9780691181110","price":42.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_c25461a2-0ab1-43f6-957d-fc689e086820.jpg?v=1649173948","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/keep-the-damned-women-out-the-struggle-for-coeducation-9780691181110","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
