Is romance more important to women in college than grades are? Why do so many women enter college with strong academic backgrounds and firm career goals but leave with dramatically scaled-down ambitions? Dorothy C. Holland and Margaret A. Eisenhart expose a pervasive culture of romance on campus: a high-pressure peer system that propels women into a world where their attractiveness to men counts most.
