Keohane, president emeritus of Wellesley College and Duke University "In describing how single-sex colleges responded to the surge of interest in coeducation in the late 1960s, Nancy Weiss Malkiel has written an exceptionally thoughtful, balanced, and judicious account of a subject that aroused passionate feelings at the time on both sides of the issue." --Derek Bok, president emeritus of Harvard University "A monumental work of archival scholarship."--William G. Bowen, coauthor of Lesson Plan: An Agenda for Change in American Higher Education "Malkiel's book will serve as the foundational work on which all future considerations of the drive for coeducation, begun during the late 1960s, will be based. Its broad field of vision offers a wealth of information about the nature of academic administration and collegiate life."--Helen Lefkowitz Horowitz, author of Alma Mater: Design and Experience in the Women's Colleges from Their Nineteenth-Century Beginnings to the 1930s "Well crafted and incredibly comprehensive. There is no question in my mind that this book will immediately become the go-to source for understanding why coeducation happened when it did, and how the story unfolded on elite campuses."--Susan Ware, author of Game, Set, Match: Billie Jean King and the Revolution in Women's Sports "[A] fascinating story."--Leonore Tiefer, Wall Street Journal
