The Dean's Bible : Five Purdue Women and Their Quest for Equality Paperback / softback
by Angie Klink
Part of the The Founders Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
Like pearls threaded one-by-one to form a necklace, five women successively nurtured students on the Purdue University campus in America’s heartland during the 1930s to 1990s.
Individually, each became a legendary dean of women or dean of students.
Collectively, they wove a sisterhood of mutual support in their common-sometimes thwarted-pursuit of shared human rights and equality for all.
While it is focused on changing attitudes on one college campus, The Deans’ Bible sheds light on cultural change in America as a whole, exploring how each of the deans participated nationally in the quest for equality.
The story rolls through the “picture-perfect,†suppressive 1950s, the awakening 1960s, women’s liberation, Title IX, 1980s AIDS and alcohol epidemics, the changing mores for the disabled, and ends in the twenty-first century.
