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? Dorothy C. Holland and Margaret A. 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.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This well-documented book, the result of a 10-year study, reveals that gifted, motivated college women often scale down career aspirations in order to marry and strive for physical beauty at the expense of education.
