This book explores the career paths of Australian women who have
succeeded in achieving professorships and beyond, where for the
most part, such positions are predominately occupied by males. It
also explores the gendered culture that exists across faculties and
universities as reported by participants in a survey questionnaire
of 525 new professors (female and male), and nearly 30 interviews
of women in Australian higher education, either in small focus
groups or individually. Futher, it identifies catalysts for and
inhibitors of success for women and looks in depth at "the boys'
club" and how it impacts women's progression. The book also
highlights how critical life decisions - doctoral study, work and
family - shape the careers of academic women. It identifies five
distinct career profiles for women academics and the pressure
points and effective support for each profile. Thus, this book can
assist women academics who are making life decisions and those
supporting their career progression. It also provides insights into
why affirmative action initiatives to improve the proportion of
women in the professoriate have had minimal impact despite
considerable investment over the past 30 years.
