    <mods:abstract>In Part 1, Gloria begins by describing her relationship to her father, an
        immigrant cement business owner, her role as a “typical Italian daughter,” and how her
        father insisted she go to Pembroke. When discussing her life at Pembroke, she speaks about
        her academic record, the discovery of her passion for English, after an initial focus on
        biology, her dedication to her studies and the many student activities in which she was
        involved. The people who influenced her include Dean Morriss and Dean Lewis, English
        Professors Kapstein and Hunt, and Miss Rudd, the gym teacher. In Part 2, Gloria shares her
        experience attending school during wartime and how it was not a “normal” or desirable
        experience. She discusses a Japanese student whose parents were in an internment camp, the
        pressure “V-12” boys had to pass in order to not be sent to war. While the boys were away at
        war, girls started to have all their classes on the Brown campus and were able to go to the
        Blue Room without a date. She mentions the Honor Code and cheating and elaborates on what it
        meant to be a woman in the 1940s, “Posture Pictures,” married women students, and social
        pressure regarding a woman’s appearance. She discusses going to the Pembroke Library and the
        influence of the librarian, as well as taking Biology class with Walter
        Wilson.</mods:abstract>
