- P.H.T.
-
A P.H.T. (or Ph.T.) is a "degree" awarded specifically to women. It stands for "Putting Husband Through" and was awarded for the distinction of having a husband who was a student and graduated with a college or graduate degree while they were married; presumably the woman helped support her husband during his education.[1]
Betty Friedan in The Feminine Mystique[2] mentions the P.H.T. being initiated in the 1950s in the United States at a time when women were increasingly attending college as a way to meet future husbands rather than to further their own education. Some P.H.T.s have also been self-awarded. [3]
Ph.T is Pengusaha Top. You can find a person who have this degree in tasmeira.
