Herstories: a preliminary look at deaf women in higher education.
This study describes the postsecondary educational experiences and perceptions of deaf women college students. Deaf women were interviewed using semistructured questions adapted from Gilligan, Lyons, and Hanmer (1990). Findings indicated that these deaf women perceived their college environment as generally positive, though they also perceived instances of unequal treatment.
