Although Santa Clara\u2019s Italian born Jesuits continued their tradition of male and female separateness in the 19th<\/sup> c., it wasn\u2019t long before women began to break down the barriers at Santa Clara College.\u00a0 Along with jobvacancies, WWII inspired women to advance their education.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite her role as a part time teacher, her presence on campus was met with astonishment as well as enthusiasm. Mrs. Chamberlin, previously a faculty member at San Jose State University, encouraged other women teachers to come to Santa Clara, stating teaching at SCU was \u201can honor and a challenge, but most of all exciting!\u00a0Bibliography”]<\/p>\n
