Some questions about Babes in Boyland

1) How did Barreca, the author, deal with the issue of Dartmouth as a place of male camaraderie and privilege?

2) How did Barreca address the question of her other “differences” from the “typical” Dartmouth student? What about her class background? What about her ethnic Italian background?

3) In what way is Barreca’s account like other “student perspective” accounts that we’ve read? How does she also bring in her perspective as a professor?

4) Why is sex such a large part of her story? What is the point of including so much information about her affairs?
