Educational Rights of Women in the United States
“Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.” Abigail Adams, former first lady
There are no laws or restrictions prohibiting women from attaining an education in the United States. In 1833, Oberlin College was the first college to open its admittance policy to include women. Congress passed Title IX of the Education Amendments in 1972 that requires gender equity for males and females in every educational program that receives federal funding.
According to the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau, 20.1 million women have bachelor's degrees, compared to 18.7 million men.
