Review:

". . . adds to historical knowledge in important ways. It spotlights the nineteenth-century network of women graduates of the University of Michigan and their careers in eastern women's colleges. In closely examining the formative years of Wellesley College and the University of Chicago, it illuminates important elements of the politics and dynamics of higher education. . . . [A] solid contribution to biography and the history of higher education."
