description: Twenty years after Vassar College welcomed the first American female undergraduates in 1865, the experiences of women college students began to be fictionalized in so-called college stories. This study shows how higher education is presented in these novels and short stories, published during the dynamic period - from the 1880s to the 1910s - in which women's colleges gradually gained acceptance.
