Women's college

[azmom]

Please congratulate me. My daughter was accepted at Wellesley college and Mount Holyoke College. Wellesley made her a better offer but she turned them down and is going to Mount Holyoke College this fall. I am so proud of her. A little nervous because she is going far from home, but overall giddy with pride. Women rock!!!

to your daughter. This is a big step in her life.

I wanted my daughter to go to a college far from home. She stayed close by. Now she lives on the other side of the country.

A good friend of mine went to Mount Holyoke and she is one of the smartest, most politically engaged people I know. Your daughter is going to get an excellent education!

6. Thank you

She made her decision last night and today we are celebrating. She is very much a feminist and I have learned so much from her as well as all of you here at DU.
