Drawing on extensive questionnaires and in-depth interviews with Black women graduates, sociologist Elizabeth Higginbotham sketches the patterns that connected and divided the women who integrated American higher education before the era of affirmative action. Although they shared educational goals, for example, family resources to help achieve those goals varied widely according to their social class. Across class lines, however, both the middle- and working-class women Higginbotham studied noted the importance of personal initiative and perseverance in helping them to combat the institutionalized racism of elite institutions and to succeed.
Highlighting the actions Black women took to secure their own futures as well as the challenges they faced in achieving their goals, "Too Much to Ask provides a new perspective for understanding the complexity of racial interactions in the post-civil rights era.
