The only comprehensive encyclopedia on the subject of women in higher education.

America's first wave of feminists―Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and others―included expanded opportunities for higher education in their Declaration of Sentiments at the first Women's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York, in l848. By then, the first American institutions to educate women had been founded, among them, Mt. Holyoke Seminary, in l837. However, not until after the Civil War did most universities admit women―and not for egalitarian purposes. War casualties had caused a drop in enrollment and the states needed teachers. Women students paid tuition, but, as teachers, were paid salaries half that of men.

By the late 20th century, there were more female than male students of higher education, but women remained underrepresented at the higher levels of educational leadership and training. This volume covers everything from historical and cultural context and gender theory to women in the curriculum and as faculty and administrators.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Researchers looking for a feminist slant in the reference literature on education will find it here. Designed for scholars, students, and "first-time inquirers," this volume aims to record "the knowledge gained from a half-century of intensive research relating to women in higher education." Instead of the strictly A-Z arrangement found in most resources described as encyclopedias, a "selective compilation" of entries is arranged under nine broad categories, including "Historical and Cultural Contexts," "Feminism in the Academy," and "Women Administrators." Within these categories, individual entries address topics such as Military colleges, Sexual harassment, Medical education, Title IX, Black sororities, Lesbian faculty, and Leadership in Catholic institutions.

Each section begins with an overview, followed by from 2 to more than 30 entries that are the work of more than 120 academic contributors. Length varies from two pages for Black women's colleges and Sexual assault, among others, to nine pages for Psychology of sex differences, with three or four pages being the norm. Each entry includes a list of references, some of them quite extensive. In some cases there are see also references to entries that are related. Following the encyclopedia portion of the book are an essay on women's studies resources and a list of institutions that identify themselves as women's colleges. A 38-page bibliography and a detailed index complete the book.

The "explicitly feminist approach" sets this volume apart from works such as Encyclopedia of Education (2d ed., Macmillan, 2003) and makes it worth considering for education and women's studies collections in academic libraries. RBB

“Researchers looking for a feminist slant in the reference literature on education will find it here.

“Women in HIgher Education is a real achievement and a worthy addition to academic libraries.” ―Feminist Collections

“Readers seeking recent information on a variety of topics about women in higher education in the United States will benefit from this book. . . . Women in Higher Education deserves a place on one's bookshelves.” ―The Journal of Higher Education

I am a professor at Michigan State University, where I teach courses on higher education foundations and college students. Particular interests include mixed race students and LGBTQ issues in higher ed. My passion for the study of higher education emerged from my undergraduate experience at Mount Holyoke College and 10 years working as a dean in the student life office at Brown University. Recently, I've been working on an international study of women's colleges and universities, co-leading the National Study of LGBTQ Student Success (www.lgbtqsuccess.net) and writing about college student learning, development, and success.
