by Kathleen A. Dunn
Simmons College was founded to prepare women to work within the context of the liberal arts. Through interviews and questionnaires from classes between 1906 and 1980, the author found that Simmons alumnae met its founder’s goal. Alumnae faced many challenges. This book shows that courses related to occupations, field work, and internships educate young women for powerful lives.
