YALE - HISTORY OF AN ART SCHOOL - ANGIE KEEFER ...

Unknown to most  the first women students to attend Yale University were members of its School
of Art  present upon its inauguration in 1869. Despite the auspicious beginning it would take
121 years before the School awarded tenure to a female professor  and 147 years for the School
of Art to welcome its first woman dean. Assembled from hundreds of hours of interviews with
notable women and non-binary graduates  comes the first oral history of a fabled  if frequently
misunderstood institution. Once a bastion and now a vestige of 20th century modernist master
narratives  the voices of 50 years of women graduates complicate an already complicated legacy
revealing the life of an art school careening into the 21st century  speaking plainly to the
long and still ongoing struggle for feminist integration and representation in the arts. This
sweeping narrative of the education of a continuum of women artists and designers traces its
way through the incendiary politics of the radical sixties  the formation of cultural studies 
identity politics  and intersectionality in the seventies  the AIDS crisis  the culture wars 
and the neoliberal escalation of the eighties  through to our fully globalized 
hyper-capitalized present. This book is published on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of
undergraduate coeducation at Yale College and the 150th anniversary of the first women students
at Yale University.
