Praise for The Gender Gap in College
"Linda Sax has produced an encyclopedic volume comparing women′s and men′s development during the undergraduate years. We believe it is destined to become a classic in the higher education literature."
—From the Foreword by Alexander W. Astin and Helen S. Astin
"Using findings from an important national data set, Linda Sax has skillfully crafted a definitive work about the gender gap in college. It is a major scholarly achievement that will be influential for many years to come."
—Ernest Pascarella, Petersen Professor of Higher Education, University of Iowa
"Linda Sax has produced a meticulously researched, carefully documented analysis that identifies many ways that college impacts men and women differently.
