It was quite a ride

the long version

In this memoir, Bonnie Graham shares her experiences as a student, teacher, and wife of a college president, and reflects on the changes in women's roles and prospects during her lifetime. Graham's story takes the reader from her childhood years in Duluth, Minnesota, to St. Cloud State University and Hamline University (her husband, Charles J. Graham, served as president of SCSU from 1971-1981 and of Hamline from 1981-1987), to her time in Japan during the establishment of Minnesota State University-Akita in the early 1990s.
