Women at City College: A Fifty Year Anniversary Exhibit

Sample Image

Collection Description

September 1951 marked the point in the City College’s history when women finally breached the last formal barriers to full enrollment at the College. Women were for the first time allowed to enroll in the College of Liberal Arts and Science, the last unit of the College to remain male only.

This exhibition commemorates the history of the struggle for full participation of women at City College, highlights contributions that City College women have made to the College, and celebrates the excellence of City women ’s achievements.

This exhibit was originally on view in City College's Cohen Library, Fall 2001.
