A Century of Higher Education for American Womenreviewed by Esther Lloyd-Jones - 1960 Title: A Century of Higher Education for American Women Author(s): Mabel Newcomer Publisher: John Wiley, New York ISBN: , Pages: , Year: Search for book at Amazon.com This book, an outgrowth of the Centennary Celebration of Vassar, reviews the history of higher education for women, and discusses how and whyand, to some extent, whetherwomen should be educated. Sound, sane, and meaty, the volume attests to Professor Newcomer's comprehensive first-hand knowledge of her subject and to her scholarly competence and trained, critical mind that enables her to define and weigh the value issues inherent in her topic. A useful final chapter ably sums up the most important questions, not only for college educators, but also for high school teachers, who openly or subtly condition the attitudes of girls, and for parents, who must willy-nilly face the problem of how their daughters can best be educated.
