University,83 years after completing her master's in education in Stanford in 1941.Originally

It's worth noting that even if she had received her degree,many school systems wouldn't

have hired her as a married woman.Not until the 1964 Civil Rights Act were these"marriage
bars"that allowed for schools to not hire wives,and even fire teachers who got married after

hiring,completely done away with.Gender (inequality may have put a hold on her
career,but they led to her becoming a powerful advocate for all students.
Hislop worked to improve educational opportunities for all students,believing everyone
should have access to higher education if they desired.Her efforts contributed to transforming
Yakima Valley College from a junior college to an independent institution awarding associates,
bachelor's,and master's degrees.This was achieved through her work with local and state

education and arts-focused organizations.
"I didn't return to teaching,but I feel I put my teaching certificate to good use serving in
committees and on boards and trying to improve educational opportunities every chance I got,"
Hislop says.At 105,Hislop remains an active community member.Her son-in-law Doug
Jensen notes,"The biggest lesson I've taken from her is that you never really stop learning.
