Inscribed to Betsy Griffith, a Wellesley graduate, believed to be the one who was Headmistress of The Maderia School. The author is a spellbinding speaker who has given numerous talks across the country to rave reviews. Dr. Palmieri brings rare insight, inspiration and passion to her seminars. Her topics include: When Will A Woman Win the White House? ; Women's Lives in Historical Perspective; and Balancing Work and Family: Women's Search for Meaningful Professional and Personal Lives. Dr. Palmieri's first book, "In Adamless Eden: The Community Women Faculty at Wellesley, " was published in 1995 by Yale University Press to outstanding reviews. Wellesley was unique in its commitment to an exclusively female faculty. This book is an engrossing history of that first generation of Wellesley professors. Drawing on unpublished diaries, journals, letters, and autobiographies, on newspapers and magazines, and on Wellesley College records, Patricia Palmieri reinterprets the lives and careers of many of the fifty-three women professors of the college. She accounts for the rise of the first generation of academic women in post-Civil War America. She revises standard accounts of the college as a citadel of enlightened domesticity. She shows instead that its separatist women's community encouraged women students to renounce marriage and enter careers of public service, and she links Wellesley's educational climate to the social reform activism of the Progressive Era. Ultimately society condemned Wellesley for its "spinster faculty". The contemporary college owes much to the dedication and achievement of its pioneering women scholars.
