{"product_id":"this-is-not-the-ivy-mary-clearman-blew-9780803245204","title":"This Is Not the Ivy League","description":"Mary Clearman Blew's education began at home, on a remote cattle ranch in Montana. She graduated to a one-room rural school, then escaped, via scholarship, to the University of Montana, where, still in her teens, she met and married her first husband. \u003ci\u003eThis Is Not the Ivy League\u003c\/i\u003e is her account of what it was to be that girl, and then that woman--pressured by husband and parents to be the conventional wife of the 1950s, persisting in her pursuit of an education, trailed by a reluctant husband and small children through graduate school, and finally entering the job market with a PhD in English only to find a whole new set of pressures and prejudices. \u003cbr\u003eThis memoir is Blew's behind-the-scenes account of pursuing a career at a time when a woman's place in the world was supposed to have limits. It is a story of both the narrowing perspective of the social norm and the ever-expanding possibilities of a woman who refuses to be told what she can and cannot be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Clearman Blew\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803245203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803245204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.45h x 5.54w x 0.56d","brand":"Mary Clearman Blew","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988265795839,"sku":"9780803245204","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ff62d91a-f4b5-4c07-bfb7-a64b91416866.jpg?v=1683293559","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/this-is-not-the-ivy-mary-clearman-blew-9780803245204","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
