Description: Gender and the Modern Research University: The Admission of Women to German Higher Education, 1865-1914by Patricia M. MazonPublished by Stanford University Press August 2003. Inscribed and signed by author to professors Erika & Michael (Metzger) on ffep. Very good hardcover, in very good dustjacket. Tight binding, solid spine, clean unmarked text. Illustrated, 8vo, index, 297 pages. Women, higher education, Germany, history, Universities & colleges, Admission, Sex discrimination. In the 1890s, German feminists fighting for female higher education envied American women their small colleges. Yet by 1910, German women could study at any German university, a level of educational access not reached by American women until the 1960s. This book investigates this development as well as the cultural significance of the tremendous debate generated by aspiring female students.Central to Mazón's analysis is the concept of academic citizenship, a complex discourse permeating German student life. Shaped by this ideal, the student years were a crucial stage in the formation of masculine identity in the educated middle class, and a female student was unthinkable. Only by emphasizing the need for female gynecologists and teachers did the women's movement carve out a niche for academic women.Because the nineteenth-century German university was the model for the modern research university, the controversy resonates with contemporary American debates surrounding multiculturalism and higher education.Loc: GL1-3StoreAdd to FavoritesFeedback1890s Gender Discrimination German Higher Education Research Feminism University Gender and the Modern Research University: The Admission of Women to German Higher Education, 1865-1914by Patricia M.
