- Summary
- "In this book, Carol Dyhouse explores the gendered social history of students in modern Britain, focusing on access, ambitions and the troubled politics of co-education in institutions formerly dominated by single-sex colleges and segregated opportunities for men and women. She examines men's and women's sometimes differing expectations of higher education, at a time when many families made substantial sacrifices in order to send young people to college."--Jacket
