The first in-depth look at how women have shaped the history and
legacy of Indiana University. Women first enrolled at Indiana
University in 1867. In the following years they would leave an
indelible mark on this Hoosier institution. However, until now
their stories have been underappreciated, both on the IU campus and
by historians, who have paid them little attention. Women at
Indiana University draws together 15 snapshots of IU women's
experiences and contributions to explore essential questions about
their lives and impact. What did it mean to write the petition for
women's admission or to become the first woman student at an
all-male university? To be a woman of color on a predominantly
white campus? To balance work, studies, and commuting, entering
college as a non-traditional student? How did women contribute to
their academic fields and departments? How did they tap
opportunities, confront barriers, and forge networks of support to
achieve their goals? Women at Indiana University not only opens the
door to a more inclusive and accurate understanding of IU's past
and future, but also offers greater visibility for Hoosier women in
our larger understanding of women in American higher education.
