This book examines the life of Virginia Gildersleeve, the dean of
Barnard College from 1911 to 1947, who dedicated her life to
expanding women's collegiate opportunities to match those of men,
and to allow women entry into professional and graduate programs.
Gildersleeve was the first academic to use the media to define for
the American public what higher education--and particularly what
higher education for women--meant. The only woman to sign the
United Nations charter, she made waves by implementing the first
program to allow women into the Navy. This book explores how
Gildersleeve's life exemplifies the expanded and changing
educational opportunities for women during the Progressive Era and
early twentieth century, with the rise of feminists, progressive
reformers, and educational philosophers. Although Gildersleeve is
nearly forgotten, her importance to women's higher education,
women's inclusion in the US military, and world peace is captured
in this blend of historical analysis and life history.
