Catholic Women's Colleges in America

Rezensionen / Stimmen

A richly documented and provocatively analyzed work.
-Fernanda Perrone, History of Education Quarterly Kudos to Schier and Russet for providing this book as a catalyst and charging scholars to continue work they have begun. Anyone interested in the history of higher education should read it as a first step in understanding a group of colleges that has been invisible and ignored. Anyone interested in women's issues should read it for its story of female initiative on a grand scale.
-Sylvia Simmons, Connection This is a valuable book. I consider myself well-informed about US Catholic women's colleges in the twentieth century, but I learned a great deal from it . . . A much-needed supplement to the standard histories of Catholic education.
-Regina Bannan, Equal wRites Outstanding . . . This excellent anthology should be included in future research and teaching for historians of education, American Catholicism, and American women.
-Carol K. Coburn, Journal of American History A much needed exploration of these unique institutions.
-Sandra Yocum Mize, Religious Studies Review This book will be welcome by all interested in an inclusionary history of American Catholic life.
-Margaret Mary Reher, American Catholic Studies Renn boldly engages the complexities of women's lives globally, giving careful attention to the intersections of gender, culture, economics, and education . . . Women's Colleges and Universities in a Global Context is a rich resource for researchers and students interested in women's issues and the role of higher education in transforming the climate for women's equity across the world . . . With this book, Renn has further confirmed her well-deserved reputation as a preeminent scholar of higher education both within the US and internationally.
