- Description
- This history explores the nature of postwar advocacy for women's higher education. Eisenmann illuminates the impact of this advocacy in the postwar era, identifying a link between women's activism during World War II and the women's movement of the late 1960s. Though the postwar period has been portrayed as an era of domestic retreat for women, Eisenmann finds otherwise as she explores areas of institution building and gender awareness. In an era uncomfortable with feminism, this generation advocated individual decision making rather than collective action by professional women, generally conceding their complicated responsibilities as wives and mothers. By redefining our understanding of activism and assessing women's efforts within the context of their milieu, this innovative work reclaims an era often denigrated for its lack of attention to women.

- Description
- Authors try to show what it was like to be a female student of science at the Calvinistic University in the Netherlands in the period 1930-1960. Although the numbers of female students of science were small compared to male students of science and also compared to female students of science at other Dutch universities, they felt themselves well accepted and treated. All of them taught in one way or another, but their career was always subordinated to their duties of a wife and a mother. Paper presented at the International Conference in Prague, june 8 till june 2003.
