Mount Holyoke Women

he Australian feminist philosopher Dale Spender once claimed that every century has its great women thinkers but that with each passing generation, the institutional politics of gender leaves women consigned to the ‘lower shelves’ of cultural material and eventually forgotten. We need women’s education, not only because it strengthens the institutional presence of women leaders who will work against the generational forgetting of women’s accomplishments, but also because of the urgent need to continue deepening and accelerating the pace of achievement for today’s women. For this reason, there is no more critical time to support Mount Holyoke.” —LYNN PASQUERELLA ’8 0, PRESIDENT
