Women have been attending and succeeding in colleges and universities in the United States since the late 1800's. You'll notice that the first collegiate fraternities and societies for women were founded 1851 to 1870.
1851 Alpha Delta Pi (Adelphean)
1852 Phi Mu (Philomethean)
1867 Pi Beta Phi (IC Sorosis)
1870 Kappa Alpha Theta
1870 Kappa Kappa Gamma
Stands to reason that you have to have women in universities to have these organizations start and grow.

Just to add- The Adelphean and Philomathean Societies were founded at a WOMEN'S university (Wesleyan Female College). The first college to grant a degree to a woman.
So I agree, women have been attending universities since way before the 1940's.
