Paying for the Party: How College Maintains Inequality by Elizabeth A. Armstrong

4.0

An interesting perspective on how class and status differentially affect women’s pathways through college. There were a few times where I felt the authors spent too long on one point or would make claims far grander than their data allowed but overall, this book seemed carefully researched and well thought-out. It also causes you to think about the institutional barriers at universities that prevent lower-class and/or underrepresented students from excelling, further perpetuating the success of the wealthy.
