Today, the student affairs profession values the diversity of race, class, and gender in their educational mission. However, the profession's growing respect for pluralism demands a more inclusive history. This article is one academic measure toward creating a contextualized and nuanced history of the development of the field as it was impacted by females on campus. In the twenty-first century, President Jefferson's doctrine that every citizen should be given the opportunity to pursue knowledge in higher education (Brubacher & Rudy, 1999) is well acknowledged; it is generally accepted that democracy requires that all students be educated to their fullest potential. Given that this is our belief, higher education has struggled to fulfill its promise for females. In order for the student affairs community to capitalize on the strengths of past contributions and to build toward a more progressive future, we must listen to the often neglected and dismissed voices of female students and administrators and resurrect their compelling personal and professional stories of co-education.
