My Wish for You

My Wish for You

Women in a Male Society: From a Click to a Boom

The title leaped out at me from the course catalogue.   Women in a Male Society seemed to describe my current life.  In the middle of my senior year in college, I was one of 175 women about to become the first female graduates of Yale College in its nearly 300- year history. So I signed […]
