<p>About Donna Jo Napoli - that’s really interesting, I remember reading her Daughter of Venice book when I was younger!</p>
<p>I took am interested in all the subjects you mentioned, and I plan to major in linguistics and minor/get certified in education, and two colleges that are at the top of my list are Swarthmore and Wellesley. Swat’s virtues have already been extolled, but I recommend looking at Wellesley also if you change your mind about women’s colleges. I agree with the Bryn Mawr recommendation as well.</p>
