Scenarios about 'Seven Sisters'

The Seven Sisters refers to a group of prestigious women's colleges in the northeastern United States, founded between 1837 and 1889 to provide educational opportunities for women when most institutions were male-only. These institutions—Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, Radcliffe, Smith, Vassar, and Wellesley—played a significant role in advancing women's education and producing influential female leaders. In alternate history scenarios, the Seven Sisters often represent pivotal institutions for examining how different educational opportunities for women might have altered social movements, intellectual developments, and gender roles.
