Abstract:
The Woman's College in Greensboro opened in 1893 and became part of the greater university system in the 1920s when State College and Woman's College were consolidated under University of North Carolina. In 1943, the college celebrated fifty years with growth in faculty (248) and student body (2250).

Initial one degree was offered titled \"Normal, business and Home Economics\" but, at the time of the article, offered five degrees under the umbrella of Liberal Arts.

Abstract:
Before the women's lib movement began in earnest, ladies applied themselves to typically male dominated jobs. Examples of these enterprising women could be seen in Asheville not only doing male jobs but also running businesses. Mrs. Charles Garren drove truck for the Southeastern Railway Express Company. Mrs. O. A. Shillinglaw ran a service station. Mrs. C. M. Gaddy worked for the Forestry Service and was stationed on Spivey Mountain. Women in these various roles surprised an older generation of women accustomed only to traditional female roles.
