Abstract

This article explores women's participation in higher education, utilizing statistical data for Equity Scorecards, and life history interviews with students in two public and two private universities. It focuses on how gender and socioeconomic status intersect and constrain or facilitate participation in higher education. Findings to date suggest that opportunity structures reflect social inequalities.
