Located in Clinton, New York, the college was founded in 1968 in singular times-at the start of the second wave of feminism and in the midst of profound changes in American society. Kirkland was the last private women's college created in the United States, and also the last established coordinate college until its tumultuous takeover in 1978 by its partner, Hamilton College. Known for its innovative curriculum, Kirkland empowered young women, fostered independent thought, and pioneered academic disciplines, including American studies, environmental studies, media studies, and creative writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jo Pitkin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1438449992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781438449999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Excelsior Editions\/State University of New Yo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.52h x 6.30w x 1.19d","brand":"Jo Pitkin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48485194334463,"sku":"9781438449999","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1099a56b-1a66-4716-aab7-0b208fcba1de.jpg?v=1778048533","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lost-orchard-jo-pitkin-9781438449999","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
