Separate by Degree: Women Students Experiences in Single-Sex and Coeducational Colleges

Separate by Degree: Women Students Experiences in Single-Sex and Coeducational Colleges This series explores the history of schools and schooling in the United States and other countries. The series will examine the historical development of schools and educational processes, with special emphasis on issues of educational policy, curriculum and pedagogy, as well as issues relating to race, class, gender, and ethnicity. Special emphasis will be placed on the lessons to be learned from the past for contemporary educational reform and policy. Although the series will publish books related to education in the broadest societal and cultural context, it especially seeks books on the history of specific schools and on the lives of educational leaders and school founders. In the nineteenth century, women’s colleges provided many women with access to higher education, yet Susan B. Anthony and other women connected to the women’s rights movement favored coeducation. In the late twentieth century, at a time that many single-sex institutions became coeducational, research has indicated the benefits for women of single-sex education. Separate by Degree compares the experiences of women students, in the past as well as in contemporary times, in four small, private liberal arts colleges – a women’s college, a coordinate college, a long-time coeducational college, and a recently coeducational college – to determine how well women have fared with varying degrees of separation from male students.
