Amy LeClair’02

“When I graduated undergrad, I was talking to a friend from high school who had gone to Smith College. She said she was jealous. I asked for clarification (she went to Smith!). She felt she had lived in a bubble, whereas I had studied inequality and was better prepared for living in “reality.” 20+ years later, and I still think about that comment all the time. My courses in women’s studies gave me a foundational understanding of privilege and intersectionality that have driven my educational and professional experiences.”
