Absolutely, my professional options were limited. Though top in my class in mathematics, I was never counselled into anything but teaching or nursing. I didn't even know what an engineer was until I went to a State University specializing in the field.
As far as damaging policies at Yale, I was appalled at their lack of security and their inability to report assaults, even in the case of the gang rape. I was surprised those women returned and weren't permanently damaged. I suspect PTSD from those experiences was present their entire lives. The athletic experience was also appalling; no support for field hockey? Thank god for Title IX. While the decision to separate them into separate colleges was understandable, their low numbers left them isolated. Such courage to keep going and graduate. Of course at those numbers, these were the best of the best! Far surpassing the men, including one who became president!
