These essays offer fresh insights on the question of the paucity of
women in higher education and together form a thoughtful and
contemporary response to Lawrence Summers and the 'Woman Question'
in the twenty-first century. This uniquely interdisciplinary study
offers a provocative, contemporary look at the 'Woman Question' in
relation to higher education at the dawn of the twenty-first
century. Leading feminist scholars from a wide variety of
perspectives and disciplines - including history, philosophy,
education, psychology, sociology, and economics - evaluate the role
of biology, discrimination, and choice in rationalizing women's
exclusion from fully participating in the process of knowledge
production, as well as examining institutional impediments.
Contextualizing arguments against women's inclusion and including
contemporary perspectives on gender, this book offers a rich,
multi-layered examination and critical insights into understanding
the near universal difficulties that women encounter as they seek
to participate fully in the process of knowledge production. This
book addresses one of the most compelling topics of our time and
speaks to our need to understand the long struggle of women to gain
an authoritative voice in higher education and the factors that
underlie that struggle. Scholars and researchers of women's
studies, higher education, and a range of humanities and social
sciences will find this book a welcome addition to the literature.
