Amy: Welcome to Breaking Down Patriarchy! I'm Amy McPhie Allebest. Today we will be discussing a book by Princeton professor Nancy Weiss Malkiel called Keep the Damned Women Out: The Struggle for Coeducation. This book is a fascinating in-depth look at the process that allowed women into American and British universities which were historically male, and I must say I was shocked to learn how recently that process happened. But before we blow your minds with the sexism that plagued higher education so very recently, I want to introduce today's reading partner, Christie Skousen. Hi, Christie! Christie: Hi, Amy! Amy: Christie and I met in 2008 when we were both living in Los Altos, CA, and we were peas in a pod right from the very beginning. We were running partners in Los Altos for years - I don't know how many hours we spent talking and running in the Los Altos hills - and you nudged me to do a couple of ½ marathons with you, although you ended up running a few full marathons so I worship at your feet! You're also one of the smartest, most interesting people I have ever known, and one of the funniest. You're always teaching me and helping me grow and see things in new ways, so I'm really excited to have you here today. And now can you talk a little bit about yourself as well? Tell us where you're from and what makes you you. Christie: Bio My ancestors are from… Mormon stock Dad was a professor - big presence in your life Mom was piano prodigy, tell about her career/mother balance a bit. Debuted with you in her belly at Carnegie hall I had two brothers and probably didn't even realize a gender difference between us until puberty hit.   I grew up as a competitive classical pianist and gave my Carnegie Hall debut at age 18.  I have had the the opportunity to perform as a soloist and with orchestras throughout the United States, Europe and Russia.  Peabody/Fleisher I served on the faculty at the San Francisco Conservatory Preparatory Division  Teach students around the world online in partnership with ArtistWorks.  I am the founder and Director of the Peery Piano Academy in Mountain View,CA and the author of the Peery Piano Curriculum, which is a certification and training system for piano teachers.   Maybe a sentence about work/family balance  Married with four kids  Amy: And I'd love it if you could talk about what drew you to the “Breaking Down Patriarchy” project. Christie: Like all of us, we are raised only knowing what we know, and as I have experienced more life it has been useful for me to take a few steps back and try to observe some of the systems I have supported and agreed to without really realizing it. One of these systems is patriarchy.  Patriarchy is something that has been buzzing around mostly unconsciously in my life in various capacities - my family of origin, my temple marriage, my chosen church.  Patriarchy is something that was always just accepted as something that is without my ever choosing it, or understanding why it was or how it came about. My interest in this project is to help me better understand those things so I can have a clearer understanding about my own choices going forward. Amy: So let's learn just a bit about the author of this book, and then we'll dive into the text.  Christie: Bio of Nancy Weiss Malkiel Nancy Weiss Malkiel was born in 1944. She was educated at Smith College, obtaining her B.A. summa cum laude and graduating Phi Beta Kappa in 1965, and she went on from there having won a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship to Harvard University for her M.A. (1966) and her Ph.D. (1970). She joined the Princeton University Department of History faculty as Nancy Weiss in 1969, where she rose through the ranks from assistant professor to associate professor to professor. Nancy's career as a writer and teacher has been a distinguished one. When she came to Princeton, she was...

This week on Innovation Hub: A show on learning. First, do liberals really dominate academia? Then, if properly taught, everyone can grasp math. After that find out how reading links to health and longevity. Finally, Nancy Weiss Malkiel transports us to the moment when elite colleges finally started admitting women.

Academics skew liberal. Plus, forty percent of Americans read at -- or below -- a basic level. Finally, Going co-ed wasn’t easy for the Ivies. Just ask the Dartmouth alums who wrote this appeal in 1970: "For God’s sake, for Dartmouth’s sake, and for everyone’s sake, keep the damned women out."

What was it like when men and women started going to elite colleges together? Turns out… pretty awkward.

Within the context of the social upheaval of the 1960s and 1970s, elite institutions of higher education began to feel pressure to open their doors to women. In ‘Keep the Damned Women Out': The Struggle for Coeducation (Princeton University Press, 2015), an expansive study in institutional decision making, Nancy Weiss Malkiel analyzes how institutions ultimately decided to approach coeducation and what their institutions would ultimately look like following this radical change. By using examples from both the United States and the United Kingdom, one gets a sense of how men at these institutions viewed coeducation, how women who ended up attending these schools reacted, and how traditionally women-only institutions handled the change. Finally, Nancy Weiss Malkiel answers the important set of questions within this move toward coeducation: what did coeducation do and what did it not do? Nancy Weiss Malkiel is emerita professor of history at Princeton University.
