A multifaceted approach to creating unique works of art--step by step"--Cover.

With a history dating back to 1664, Summit, New Jersey, has evolved from a pastoral town of farms and rolling hills to a populous suburb of Manhattan. Though the land was originally purchased in the 17th century, it wasn't until the late 1800s, as the area began shifting from farmland into wealthy estates, that Summit was incorporated into a township. In the early days of the community's development, many residents were seasonal, but this changed as it became easier to live in the country and work in the city. In this original collection of images, author and local historian Patricia E. Meola takes readers on a journey into Summit's past. Through nearly 200 postcard images, Summit celebrates a city known for its tree-lined streets, the reputation of its public and private schools, the activism of countless city volunteers, and its thriving opportunities for culture.

In the 1890s, German feminists fighting for female higher education envied American women their small colleges. Yet by 1910, German women could study at any German university, a level of educational access not reached by American women until the 1960s. This book investigates this development as well as the cultural significance of the tremendous debate generated by aspiring female students. Central to Mazón's analysis is the concept of academic citizenship, a complex discourse permeating German student life. Shaped by this ideal, the student years were a crucial stage in the formation of masculine identity in the educated middle class, and a female student was unthinkable. Only by emphasizing the need for female gynecologists and teachers did the women's movement carve out a niche for academic women. Because the nineteenth-century German university was the model for the modern research university, the controversy resonates with contemporary American debates surrounding multiculturalism and higher education.
