Abstract

This article gives a historic view on the experience of women at Indiana University (IU) post World War II through examination of residence hall policies. It uses IU archival documents as primary sources in order to provide a snapshot into the lives of these women. These documents show how IU met the national norms of the era by prescribing to women a set of extra-curricular expectations of the domestic ideal to which they should conform.
