 I think you're one of the first people I have heard say there were a lot of gay women at Bryn Mawr. I usually hear one of two extremes: every Bryn Mawr student is a lesbian or that all the women are after Haverford men (and thus not gay). Your statement makes me wish I had asked Sherry Ortner about sexuality on campus when she was a student. It would be interesting to know if, in her time at Bryn Mawr, there were as large a number of lesbians and bisexual students. In particular, I'd like to know if they were the 'radical kind'. I am also interested if she believed Bryn Mawr College allowed for greater sexual liberation, regardless of sexual preference.
