Womens Higher Education Opportunities
Instructions
uring the late 19th Century, women began to seek greater improvement in their lives, including higher education. More women began to attend universities and colleges; some attended traditional men’s colleges, but many were turned away or felt unwelcome in all-male institutions. As a result, several women’s colleges would begin to form, such as Wellesley, Mount Holyoke, and Vassar.
For this Unit 2 Assignment, you will examine the experiences of women attending universities and colleges for the first time. There are two parts to this Assignment: An analysis portion in which you will provide an analysis based on your Unit 2 Reading of higher education opportunities for women during this time period, and a reflection portion in which you will reflect on similarities and differences between your college experiences and those of women between 1870 and 1910.
