Hear Us Roar
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the graduation of the first fully coeducational class, Columbia College Today spoke with Martha Howell GSAS’79, the Miriam Champion Professor of History and former director of the University’s Institute for Research on Women, Gender and Sexuality. After completing her graduate work, which focused on social, economic, legal and women’s history in northern Europe, Howell taught at Rutgers before returning in 1989 to Morningside Heights. In light of her professional expertise and experience with the women’s movement and the College before and after coeducation, we asked Howell to share her perspective on how far both have come and what remains to be done.
