Book Synopsis

For the first generations of university women, higher education was a transformative experience, but these opportunities would narrow in the decades that followed. Examining the period between 1870 and 1930, University Women explores the processes of integration and separation that marked women’s contested entrance into higher education.



Trade Review

"A book on the entrance of women into institutions of higher education in Canada is long overdue and this will become the definitive work on the topic for many years to come." Catherine Gidney, St Thomas University and author of A Long Eclipse: The Liberal Protestant Establishment and the Canadian University, 1920–1970
