NWHM Women in Higher Education Barriers

Education is a pathway towards self-improvement, whether for the love of knowledge or better professional opportunities. Women today represent more than 50% of university students, a stunning change from the past when they were barred from many colleges and marginalized in others. Achieving parity forever changed American society. This discussion, which took place at GW's Morton Auditorium on April 9, 2015, explores how higher education changed women, and how women changed higher education.

Linda Eisenmann, Ed.D. (Provost, Professor of Education/History, Wheaton College) and Gloria L. Blackwell (Vice President of Fellowships, Grants & Global Programs, AAUW) led the discussion and Liz Maurer (NWHM Program Director) moderated.
