Thanks to a
blog we follow regularly and LIFE Magazine archives the following photos from Princeton in the late 60's are posted below for you to enjoy.
So is their story...
It was in 1969 that Princeton University first admitted women as undergraduates. 148 women, consisting of 100 freshwomen and transfer students of other years, entered Princeton on September 6, 1969 amidst a frenzy of media ogling and ribbing. Scores of women’s papers and magazines, like Woman’s Wear Daily, featured articles on what the stylish Princeton freshwoman wore on campus, and practically every woman student was featured in her hometown newspaper.
Amazing right?! It's enough to inspire one to start thinking about how to build a time machine again (come on, we've all thought about it!). To have been around late 60's early 70's as a teen during the flower revolution must have been incredible. If you, your sisters, brothers or parents have any enlightening stories of that era - we'd love to hear anecdotes. Or if you have imagery to rival these, we'd love you to send them on through!!
