Interview with Holly Wheeler Brady : Alumni Stories
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Holly Wheeler Brady (1969 BA English) speaks about how the overseas programs drew her to Stanford from Chicago and her experiences while a student in the late 1960s, including studying abroad in Florence, Italy; a Mademoiselle magazine profile on Stanford women; and memories of a poetry class trip to the Pacific Ocean with Professor Ron Rebholz. She shares a story of being invited to dinner at President J.E. Wallace Sterling’s home after she and some friends complained about the food in the residence halls. Brady describes the protective attitude Stanford held towards women in the mid-1960s, gender discrimination from some faculty members, and the struggles of obtaining birth control. Brady also discusses her work in publishing and her role in running Stanford’s professional publishing course.
