DAMES, DISHES, AND DEGREES
Faculty Wives in America
by Amy Mittelman, PhD
Cynren Press
In 1921, the anonymous, PhD-holding wife of a professor wrote in an article for the
Journal of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae, “Can it be in the divine order of things that one PhD should wash dishes a whole lifetime for another PhD just because one is a woman and the other a man?”
Mittelman delves into race and gender, social and cultural history, and the ways faculty wives worked to overcome misogyny and establish autonomous identities.
