Educated in Romance: Women, Achievement, and College Culture Paperback - 1992
by Dorothy C. Holland
First line
In 1979 the United States National Institute of Education (NIE) wanted to know why so few women were becoming scientists or mathematicians.
From the rear cover
Is romance more important to women in college than grades are? Why do so many women enter college with strong academic backgrounds and firm career goals but leave with dramatically scaled-down ambitions? Holland and Eisenhart expose a pervasive 'culture of romance' on campus: a high-pressure peer system that propels women into a world where their attractiveness to men counts most.
