While Brewster was obviously a strong leader and brilliant mind, his refusal to accept women as equals was truly shocking. I had forgotten that there were brilliant men who actually felt this way. It brought back unpleasant memories of a time when expectations for women were marriage, motherhood, and housekeeping. His support of institutions like Mory's created impossible barriers for the young women and junior faculty at Yale. His insensitivity towards protecting the young women, leaving them open to insecure living arrangements, sexual assault and dangers walking within the Yale community is hard to fathom. I hope things of changed, but have they?
