    <mods:abstract>Joyce begins her interview by discussing the experiences and people that led her to apply and attend Pembroke, such as going to boarding school, having a high achieving family, rejection from Radcliffe, and her fear of swimming. She contrasts her experience at boarding school with her arrival to Pembroke, discussing the stereotypical “Penny Pembrokers,” encountering racism for the first time, and being shocked into silence. She explains the extent to which gender and racial issues were not identified; the suppression she felt; friendship; the support of the Protestant Ministry; how—as horrible as it was—that suppression prepared her for the real world. She goes on to describe the professors and experiences that pushed her to major in American Civilization; her archival and history work; her love of Providence; activities and work study; Brown’s reputation as a drinking school.  
        Still, it was at Pembroke that Joyce decided she wanted to be a social worker. She speaks to her path to social work; what it meant to assimilate; living in an essentially female world; and the lack of social and political discourse. She ends with a discussion of feeling like a survivor; having her self-esteem undermined; her financial naiveté; going back to school; the beginnings of her career.</mods:abstract>
