ASK: American colleges that support feminism?
peachamorettie asked you:
Could you list some colleges that would be great for girls? I’m trying to find colleges that support feminism. I would like to find a college that encourages girls. I live in Colorado U.S. but I’m open to other states aside from Colorado. Thank you so much! /xx♥
Because I live in England, I don’t know that much about American colleges… apart from the fact that the American education system seems to be so much better than over here - there’s hardly ANY feminist/gender studies courses over here.
But I did find this helpful list on the Smith College website (which I know is a good women’s college in MA actually!) of different gender/feminist studies courses offered around the US: http://www.smith.edu/swg/graduate.php
American followers - got any good college suggestions??

I second the Smith recommendation, but I’m a little biased (class of 2007). I would look into any of the women’s colleges & Sarah Lawrence and Vassar. Also, find out where writers you like went to school. You can message me for my email, for more advice.

I’m in the feminist studies program at UCSC and we’re one of the oldest in the States, the class I’m in right now focuses a lot on intersectionality, and the community in general tends to be feminist-leaning and fairly open minded.

Lol I went to smith and it has the oldest women’s studies/gender studies program in the country. Also they intentionally infuse feminist ideas about teaching and the history of women into all courses.
