Risky Business: Being Female At An Evangelical University
By: Rachel Asproth | September 5, 2019

My elementary school music teacher once asked us to count the beats in a measure of music. She ignored not only my hand, but also the hands of several other female students around me, saying, “Boys you’re supposed to be good at math. I’ll wait for one of you to answer.”
