Review of Working-Class Students at Radcliffe College, 1940-1970: The Intersection of Gender, Social Class, and Historical Context

This work is Duffy’s 2006 dissertation from Boston College, complete in the traditional five-chapter format and dissertation style of writing, set in a hardbound edition. The author’s purpose in the book “Is to open a lens into the previously uncovered experiences of workingclass students in the elite higher education at Radcliffe College between the years 1940–1970” (p. 1). While the book reads like a dissertation, Duffy succeeds in her purpose by providing quantitative and qualitative material about the undergraduates at Radcliffe during this time. She uses modern analytical tools to contextualize the experiences of both working-class and non-working-class Radcliffe women, making this work an important contribution to the literature in class, gender, and the history of higher education in the United States.
