Abstract
Appalachian women who are the first of their families to pursue higher education must prevail against cultural and family norms. This qualitative study of the experiences of 12 such women students revealed the influences of culture and family on the women's decisions to go to college and on their development while in college. Its findings reflect the importance of subtle messages and images from significant others and from educators.
