Yale Needs Women: How the First Group of Girls Rewrote the Rules of an Ivy League Giant

by Anne Gardiner Perkins

Erin Bennett (Narrator)

For readers of Hidden Figures and Rise of the Rocket Girls, Yale Needs Women is the fascinating story of the first class of women admitted to Yale in 1969

Yale University, along with the rest of the Ivy League, kept its gates closed to women until the class of 1969. The reason for letting them in? As an incentive for men to attend. Yale Needs Women is the story of why the most elite schools in the nation refused women for so long, and what the first women to enter those halls faced when they stepped onto campus.

Reviews

[Terri M. LeBlanc]

Another solid audiobook. A good look at the integration of women into Yale in the '60s. May incite anger and in many cases the way women are treated by the men in authority positions hasn't changed much.

I received this book from the publisher and Libro.fm in exchange for an honest review.
