A Woman's World
By the 1970s, women were actively recruited to the Institute through targeted brochures such as A Woman’s World. While encouraging women to pursue a degree in engineering, A Woman’s World, with its sections on “Career & Marriage” and “Feminine versus Masculine” also revealed the cultural ambivalence towards women in higher education.
Today, women comprise 19 percent of the NYU-Poly student body, while groups like the Society for Women Engineers are still active on campus and the Women in Engineering, Science, and Technology (WEST) Event raises awareness of the engineering fields to high school girls.
