When did women get into the Ivy League?
This Women's History Month, BestColleges editor Lorraine takes a look at how women gained admission to the eight institutions of the Ivy League, many of which had longstanding policies of only admitting men. Some didn't go co-ed until the 1980's! Full video here: • How Women Made it to the Ivy League
Women have faced barriers in higher education since -- well, pretty much since the advent of higher education. But it is still surprising that, in America, the prestigious Ivy League schools were some of the last prominent holdouts resisting going co-ed. And wait 'til you hear what some male Ivy League alums said about the prospect of their college admitting women!
Today things look a bit different, of course. More than half of Ivy League students identify as female, and 6 out of 8 Ivy League presidents are women. Are you an Ivy League student - if so, tell us in the comments about what things look like on campus today? Is gender equality fully realized, or is it still a work in progress?
