In the Company of Educated Women: A History of Women and Higher Education in America

Excellent book. Focuses on College, University type education. But it also has information about Normal School, Common Schools and the like. I used this to research my biography that I am writing. Biography is about Meta Given (1888-1981) a famous home economist who had a wildly successful career from 1902-1972. Called "My Time with Meta Given Biography" (2018) by Danette Bishop MondouWould recommend for anyone who wants to understand the struggles women faced through the ages.

I devoured every word of this book. This is a comprehensive history of women in higher education and is also a great read. The history of women in higher education is often overlooked in higher ed history books, so the understanding of women's experiences in higher education from the colonial era to the 1940s is extremely significant. Solomon's writing is enjoyable, and I highly recommend this book.

Lots of information. You can read this book 10 times and come away with a different "new thing" each time. Substantial and detailed.

Pretty easy-read compared to Rudolph.

I bought this book for a class I was taking. It provided a very complete information about the topic. Although I consider that the information was complete I still think that it needed to talk more about higher education for African-American women. The book focused a lot only on white women.

Slow read but good one. Less expensive to purchase through Amazon.

Item was as expected
