Project Proposal

Bryn Mawr College is a women college. My own college in Japan is also a women college. Recently, the number of women colleges and universities has decreased. Some has become co-ed, others has closed down and the only few others are still remained. I want to explore why Bryn Mawr was established as a women college, why it still remains as a women college. Was there any struggle to maintain that policy? Why we did we chose to study at a women college? (Additionally, I am interested in case of other countries. I heard that there is no (or few?) women college in China. How is the trend in other countries? Is there any men college somewhere?)
