Abstract:

Black Mountain College of Black Mountain, North Carolina played prominent roles in modern art, the Beats poetry movement, and as a groundbreaking experiment in sociology. For its 22 years of existence, the college was populated by nonconformists and free thinkers who argued progressive issues of the day through painting, sculpture, music, poetry, and literature. In the liberal and progressive environment of Black Mountain College, women played a prominent role in the development and progression of the college. The women of Black Mountain College listed in the article were interviewed regarding their experiences at the college and how it helped to shape their lives.
