This book is fascinating and often infuriating, though it's because of the historical facts, not the author. I was appalled at some of the stereotypes and complete misunderstandings about women's abilities in the beginning of the last century. Peril peppers the historical information with chatty asides and great quotes from period literature. This is a must read for any woman who has ever been to college. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
From her first appearance in the mid-nineteenth century, when the age-old conflict over educating women was finally laid to rest, the college girl has attracted criticism, advice, and regulation from her elders--not to mention some enduring images in popular culture. Is she a geek in glasses? Or a sex kitten in a teddy? This book brings together women's history and popular culture in a readable blend of information, insight and humor, peppered with photographs and other femoribilia from the turn of the twentieth century through the 1970s.--From publisher description.

Otherwise, the coverage of various aspects of college life seems fairly complete. Everything from food to sex is covered in detail. Attitudes are a special concern of the author, which is as it should be, I think. The author has an adequate number of references included in the book.
The book is well-written, well-illustrated and features what I assume are documents from primary sources. All in all I thought it worth my time. ( )
