Description

'What Role for the Educated Woman?' In June, 1966, the cover story of Newsweek posed what it clearly considered a newsworthy question: 'What Role for the Educated Woman?' To help provide an answer, the magazine's education editor held a conversation with eight women who were being graduated that year from Vassar, then still an all-women's college and one persistently conscious of itself as a pioneer in women's higher education. The magazine described the eight graduates as "exceptional" yet, expressing "the concerns of graduating seniors all over the U.S" (p.74). To 21st century ears, those concerns at least, as elicited by the magazine's education editor--sound almost quaint: sexual attitudes, marriage, the willingness or lack of same to compete with men on the job, and what it means to be "feminine." Yet by any measure, these eight women were poised to assume just about any role they wanted at the very forefront of the society and culture in which they--lived at least among the possibilities open to women at the time.
