Westover: Giving Girls a Place of Their OwnWestover: Giving Girls a Place of Their Own Wesleyan University Press, 2009 Advance Praise "This book is a great read for anyone who is interested in the American history of girls' education from the early 20th century to the present. For someone who graduated from Westover, this book is a must. It is the story of the school and the tale of the enormous dedication and effort of the women and men who made it happen. Tragedy, glory and a great future make this book hard to put down." Eunice S. Groark, former Connecticut Lieutenant Governor and Westover '56 "A wonderful historical snapshot of a school with strong roots and strong women with energy, intellect, and a deep commitment to the education of girls. Westover's leadership remains true to its values and keeps pace with change." Meg Moulton, Executive Director, National Coalition of Girls' Schools "As a college freshman in the early 1950s, I sang in Red Hall (and have a vivid memory of the elegance of the acoustics, the architecture, and the audience) and have watched Westover march, stagger, and dance its way through almost six decades. This book is a depiction of the journey of a noble school with an unusual sense of its mission." Donald Werner, Executive Director, The Headmaster's Association |
