I went to an all women's college within a big collegiate university so I had the coziness of the dorm and small classes with my tutor and then unviversity wide lectures with the other sex. Having been to an all girls school I was intimidated at first when I was in a mixed discussion group. Suddenly I realized--hey, these blokes aren't as smart as I am. Wonderful awakening moment!Rhys Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06663634889908752121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-72814220468369717142009-03-23T17:48:00.000-04:002009-03-23T17:48:00.000-04:00It's a good thing, really.A true fashion statement...It's a good thing, really.<BR/>A true fashion statement.Hank Phillippi Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420701704169428286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-5035662087324134052009-03-23T16:37:00.000-04:002009-03-23T16:37:00.000-04:00I did not go to an all girls school--I was in the ...I did not go to an all girls school--I was in the third year of women admitted to an all-male school. It was hard going to adjust to that situation, and deal with being away at school, and deal with men. Let's just say I didn't do it very gracefully, though I did not wear pajamas to organic chemistry class:)Lucy Burdette aka Roberta Isleibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04660402177299546055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-85782449088632561282009-03-23T13:24:00.000-04:002009-03-23T13:24:00.000-04:00I went to an all-women's college, too.

We applauded.<BR/><BR/>The pressures were so much different! For instance--my poor German teacher (eight AM class) only saw me in a trench coat over my pajamas.<BR/><BR/>And once I actually got dressed, I wore the same clothes every day for <BR/>about a year. I do not exaggerate here. Heather blue sweater, heather blue miniskirt, black tights, loafers. EVERY DAY.<BR/><BR/>I loved it.Hank Phillippi Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420701704169428286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-15796221231779874632009-03-23T08:23:00.000-04:002009-03-23T08:23:00.000-04:00I went to a women's college, where we competed onl...I went to a women's college, where we competed only with each other (and that was one talented group!), and I was extraordinarily pleased when my daughter also chose a women's college (although not the same one). I don't believe that women have achieved true equality, and I'm not sure we will, although I'm not about to stop fighting for it. But, oh, it was lovely to have a few sheltered years when gender didn't matter, only ability!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
