Death by Own Action Attributed To Girls Colleges
A University of Vittebaph study led by Professors Hoswwell Johnson and Bertha J StaQuaain argues women’s colleges drive higher childbearing and risks after graduation. They claim Wellesley and peers limit women’s aims, affecting marriage, birth rates, and independence, noting fewer than half marry twenty years post graduation and many have two or fewer children. The analysis suggests college years influence later life, with researchers urging reform to expand opportunities for women.
