Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Meredith Wheeler (1974 BA Communications) shares memories of her time at Stanford. She describes how her older sister’s experience at Stanford and her desire to study abroad drew her to the university. Wheeler shares memories of working at the KZSU radio station, folk dancing, and taking journalism classes in the Communications Department. She also describes the experiences of women at Stanford during the early 1970s, including freedom from restrictions, participating in a women’s consciousness raising group, the ability to obtain birth control at the student health center, and an experience of gender discrimination when working as a teaching assistant.
