Challenging Political Separation; Conclusion; Notes; Bibliography; IndexWith the passage of the Morrill Act in 1862, many states in the Midwest and the West chartered land-grant colleges following the Civil War. Because of both progressive ideologies and economic necessity, these institutions admitted women from their inception and were among the first public institutions to practice coeducation. Although female students did not feel completely accepted by their male peers and professors in the land-grant environment, many of them nonetheless successfully negotiated greater gender inclusion for themselves and their peers.Women in the West.CoeducationWest (U.S.)Sexism in higher educationWest (U.S.)Women college studentsWest (U.S.)WomenEducationWest (U.S.)Electronic books.CoeducationSexism in higher educationWomen college studentsWomenEducation378.0082Radke-Moss Andrea G1029127MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454349103321Bright epoch2445386UNINA
