In a postmodern and increasingly siloed society that now lacks any universal moral codes or even reference points, it isn’t clear that the value of humanity itself can be successfully defended—at Yale or anywhere else.  
Take it from me: girl boss or not, travel sports or not, having kids can be a lot easier and more fun if you just remember that you’re the grown-up.
There is not—in literature or in life—the well-formed male equivalent of an Anne of Green Gables or a Jo March. Those girls live to read. For boys, it works best the other way around.
Repeated exposure to spiritually gripping, emotionally evocative stories of female formation in truth and virtue might open the eyes of some girls to the possibility of creating something better over their own horizons.
