Radcliffe College (now part of Harvard University)

Radcliffe College, founded in 1879, was originally established to provide women with access to higher education in a time when opportunities were limited. Affiliated with Harvard University, it offered courses and degrees primarily for women until it formally merged with Harvard in 1999. Radcliffe played a significant role in advancing women's education and leadership, creating a legacy that continues to influence academic and social progress. Today, the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard honors this legacy by supporting interdisciplinary research and promoting women's contributions in various fields.
