Description
Dorothy C. Holland and Margaret A. Eisenhart explore the complex world of college culture in this thought-provoking study.
The authors examine the ways in which women's experiences are shaped by social pressures, revealing a pervasive "culture of romance" that prioritises attractiveness over academic achievement.
Through their research, Holland and Eisenhart shed light on the often-overlooked factors that influence women's decisions about education and career goals, offering valuable insights into the challenges faced by women in higher education.
