Book Synopsis
Is romance more important to women in college than grades are? Why do so many women enter college with strong academic backgrounds and firm career goals but leave with dramatically scaled-down ambitions? Dorothy C. Holland and Margaret A. Eisenhart expose a pervasive culture of romance on campus: a high-pressure peer system that propels women into a world where their attractiveness to men counts most.
