I had to order this book from Borders and didn't have to pay shipping. They said it would take 7-10 days to come in, but it took like 4. When I ordered it I didn't specify hardback or paperback (didn't know I had a choice until after I looked on Amazon!) and they defaulted to the paperback copy, whereas I think I would rather have had hardback.
Anyways, I have it sitting on my dresser but haven't had a chance to read more than the first 20 pages or so. So far, I think it's pretty interesting to learn a bit about the history of the first women attending universities, and the attitudes of the men toward them. So far, it's held my attention.
I'll report back after I've had a chance to read some more.
Anyone else had a chance to read this?
ETA: As I said, I haven't read very much yet, but the first question that popped into my mind while reading was why did Ms. Turk pick Kappa Alpha Theta? She admits first thing that she was not a member of a sorority (did Theta initiate her so she could have access to a majority of those files?) before she set out on her research. What prompted her to pick this particular sorority as opposed to ADPi, Phi Mu or Pi Phi since they're older?
