Newly arrived at smart Wellesley College. It is 1966, the eve of a convulsive time. Hillary Clinton lives across the hall. Henry Kissinger and John Kenneth Galbraith are teaching at nearby Harvard. We are in a crucible of clever young women, demure, conservative and gently-reared; a tiny and elite minority of girls. Back then a mere 7.4% of women went to university. We are living in a place where birth control for single women is illegal. This is the story of how the Vietnam war, racial strife and the birth of womens liberation fundamentally changed our lives. Conceived during the pandemic, Stephanie worked with three close friends to shape this narrative, sharing letters, diaries, and memories. A rich and stirring history of a moment when everything was changing for women in higher education. -- Hillary Rodham Clinton
