Bag om Women in the Academy

This edited collection examines womenΓÇÖs roles in the academy. Statistics show that women outnumber men in most universities and that womenΓÇÖs pay still lags behind menΓÇÖs, but the numbers only hint at the broader story. This edited collection fills that gap with the stories of twelve womenΓÇöfrom part-time faculty to college presidentsΓÇöwho answer key questions such as why they pursued a career in the academy and how they handled childcare issues and sexism in the workplace. Advice, encouragement, and caution are offered to guide those considering a career in the academy and those already in academe who are wondering about their options. This book is recommended for burgeoning female scholars and for established scholars of any gender in womenΓÇÖs studies, gender studies, higher education, and communication studies.
