<br/><br/> Kelly Ritter chronicles the evolution of writing programs at a landmark Southern women's college during the postwar period. She finds that despite its conservative Southern culture and vocational roots, the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina was a unique setting where advanced writing programs and creativity flourished long before these trends emerged nationally.
