About This Item
Lot of 3 items related to women in college. 1861-1919. Includes page from Ladies Home Journal and Harper's Weekly. Items measure aprox 11 x 16 inches. Essay from the Ladies Home Journal December 1919 titled "Without Benefit of College" by Esther Everett Lape reads in part, "Have you ever read of the fish in Lake Baikal, in Russia, that explode if taken from the water, literally pass into the circumambient air if the customer pressure is removed. Something of that kind happens when the fresh air of vast activity strikes the spirits released for the first time from the monotonous pressure of Valley Forks and Greenville Junction...Since yesterday, when the summer school opened, there is a new world up here around the university. And such a world! The whole ten thousand of them learn something, do something, see something, go somewhere every minute of their six weeks...Can you conceive a little world of women, all energy, all endeavor? They are catching up with life, overtaking youth." Page from 1861 issue of Harper's Weekly shows architect's renderings of Vassar College, and separate page of fashion illustrations show women in 1910's style suits and shirtwaists with text above them reading "Waists and suits for the college girl." Educational activists advocating for women's higher education throughout the 19th and early 20th century argued that true gender equality was impossible without equal access to quality education. Light toning does not affect images or text. Overall very good condition.
