Shipherd pledged Oberlin’s commitment to “the elevation of female character” through education. Little did he know, there was a dynamite in that promise, and women carried the matches. This 75-minute walking tour offered by the Oberlin Heritage Center explores how powerful women made good on Shipherd’s promise and shaped what it meant to be a woman in Oberlin and beyond. This tour was developed by alumna Jen Graham ’12.</p>
