- Abstract
- This interview with twenty members of the Pembroke College class of 1965 captures the political, social, and academic issues on campus as remembered by Pamela Allara, Elinor Bachrach, Anne Doswell Labouchere, Claudia Nash Hurley, Jessica Loring, Molly Perkins Hauck, Marney Weaver, Nancy Steinhaus Zisson, Dianna McClure, Virginia Scharfenberg, Pamela Baldwin, Kay Berthold Frishman, Elizabeth Glass Loggia, Anne Rodems White, Judith Woll, Nancy Kilpatrick Adelman, Nancy Buc, Sylvia Welch, Nancy Rockwell, and Jean Hay at their 50th reunion. The first hour of the interview consists of each alumna providing highlights of their personal, professional, and academic, lives after graduating from Pembroke. The remaining hour primarily includes the alumnae discussing institutionalized sex discrimination against Pembrokers and the double standard between the Brown men and the Pembroke women. Memories include the expulsion of three women and the suspension of three men for spending a night in a motel; having a dress code for classes, on campus activities, and off campus outings; rules against living off campus with an exception for married women who were forced to live off campus; and general expectations for women in society. Claudia Nash Hurley specifically recalls being one of approximately twenty students chosen by Dean Rosemary Pierrel to inform her dormitory that birth control pills were being distributed during homecoming weekend, no questions asked. Interviewees also remember the politics of the Vietnam War, and their appreciation for the diverse course requirements.
