Customer Reviews

Alma Mater sheds an interesting light on women's colleges.

I really liked the way Helen Lefkowitz Horowitz looked at the physical structure and plan of the seven sister colleges to interpret their varying purposes and views on higher education of women. I am currently studying the history of Radcliffe, and I found Alma Mater enlightening and valuable.
