The Seven Sisters are a group of seven private liberal arts colleges in the Northeastern United States that are historically women's colleges.[1] Barnard College, Bryn Mawr College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College, and Wellesley College are still women's colleges. Vassar College became coeducational in 1969, and Radcliffe College was absorbed in 1999 by Harvard College and now offers programs in advanced study.
The name Seven Sisters is a reference to the Greek myth of The Pleiades, goddesses immortalized as stars in the sky:[1] Maia, Electra, Taygete, Alcyone, Celaeno, Sterope, and Merope.[2]
