“WOMEN OF WOMEN’S COLLEGES: PLAYBOY WANTS TO HONOR YOU,” read the headline of flyers that were posted throughout Bryn Mawr’s campus. “After 14 years of admiring women of coed conference colleges, Playboy readers asked, ‘What about all the women’s colleges?’” In answer to this question, Playboy dedicated the April 1991 issue to the women of women’s colleges. According to Playboy photographer David Chen, the purpose of this focus was to show that women at women’s colleges are not “dowdy, wear glasses, and don’t care about themselves.” Women who posed recieved anywhere from $250 to $1,000 depending on their level of nudity.
