One such bold venture in female education - the Bryn Mawr School of Baltimore, Maryland - is the subject of Andrea Hamilton's lively and well-researched book... In Hamilton's telling, the story of the Bryn Mawr School moves beyond its local particulars to illumine much about the history of American education and life... The importance of Hamilton's contribution is that she never loses sight of the complexity of the school and its relation to society. Her history of the Bryn Mawr School helps us understand aspects of the unique position held by American women in national, social, intellectual, and cultural life. - from the foreword by Helen Leikowitz Horowitz Author InformationAndrea Hamilton teaches at Southern Methodist University.
