Linda Perkins' project is a historical study of women of color in the first two classes at Yale University. In 1969, women represented 20% of the accepted students at Yale. Of the 575 women in that first group of women, there were 40 Black women, 13 Asians, and 3 Latinas. This study will research the Black, Asian, and Latina women of these two classes.
