WOMEN WHO CHANGED HISTORY AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF THE 20TH CENTURY
[Catherine S.] Manegold, who covered Shannon Faulkner and her case against the Citadel for The New York Times, presents a detailed account and, in some of the most gripping pages of the book, eyewitness reports of what life at the Citadel was like for Faulkner and other freshmen. Faulkner, a native of South Carolina, was referred to by one lawyer for the Citadel as a \"toxin,\" as if her presence on the campus in Charleston, S.C., would destroy the rich history of the military college. As one reads Manegold's scrupulously detailed history of the Citadel--which is, in many cases, more compelling than the pages devoted to Faulkner--it appears that Faulkner was merely the latest in a long line of \"toxins\" that this insular Southern institution has fought to keep out. Minority students (Manegold's writing about a mysterious shooting of a black cadet threatens to overwhelm the copiously reported drama of Faulkner's case) and even administrators who tried, and failed, to make the Citadel a more academic and less physically abusive place have been met with the same self-defeating pride and hostility that greeted Faulkner at the gates.
