More than one thousand white southern women attended one of the Seven Sister colleges: Vassar, Wellesley, Smith, Mount Holyoke, Bryn Mawr, Radcliffe, and Barnard. Johnson looks at how such educations influenced them to challenge their traditional gender roles and engage in other social reforms of the Progressive Era South.
