"In 1880, forty-three women walked into the president's office at the University of
Kentucky (UK) and signed the student register, becoming the first female students
at a public college in the commonwealth. But gaining admittance was only the beginning.
For the next sixty-five years-encompassing two world wars, an economic depression,
and the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment-generations of women at UK claimed
and reclaimed their right to an equitable university experience. Their work remains
unfinished. Drawing on yearbooks, photographs, and other private collections, Our
Rightful Place: A History of Women at the University of Kentucky, 1880-1945 examines
the struggle for gender equity in higher education through the lens of one major institution.
In the face of shifting resistance, pioneering women constructed opportunities for
themselves. Terry L. Birdwhistell and Deirdre A. Scaggs highlight three women-Sarah
Blanding, Frances Jewell McVey, and Sarah Bennett Holmes-who fought to secure basic
facilities that were denied to UK women for decades, including housing and study spaces.
By examining the trials and triumphs of UK's first female undergraduates, faculty,
and administrators, this book uncovers the lasting impact women had on higher learning
in the early days of coeducation"
