Open LibraryAbout this book
"The Byzantine world of The Citadel is fully revealed in this account of Shannon Faulkner's attempt to become its first female cadet. In Glory's Shadow explores the history of a southern institution determined to preserve traditional lines of power and social influence while all around it America was changing.". "Manegold illuminates the course - historical, judicial and psychological - of Shannon's fight and uncovers an American drama, a clash between those who would preserve the rigid structures of the past and those trying to chart a new course in a nation remaking itself."--BOOK JACKET.
