Emigrating to the good life: A qualitative study of gender and ethnic diversity of graduate women

This research addressed three major questions regarding the perceptions and interpretations of the lived experiences of 13 graduate women in master's and doctoral programs at a major midwestern research university: (a) How do these graduate women perceive and interpret their epiphanal experiences that had consequences for their educational development? (b) How do they perceive and interpret their positioning within the educational system? and (c) How do they perceive and interpret the role of education in their individual strategies for dealing with barriers to what they define as success?
