Isabel Carter Stewart's return to her native Philadelphia in the seventies was bitter-sweet. She was a graduate student, and her husband, Donald Stewart, was a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and they would be living on the city's well-heeled West Side.

It wasn't until after the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling that Stewart set off for women-only Wellesley College in Massachusetts seeking to "expand her world."
