If the classroom is a potentially radical space, then feminists in
educational institutions can act as agents of radicalization.
However, efforts to breach ideological boundaries continue to
present challenges to these activists. This collection of eleven
critical essays unites scholars from various disciplines to explore
how feminists live, survive, and thrive in the Academy. The pieces
investigate innovative ways that women academics occupy the space
of the Academy as real living bodies while resisting being judged,
devalued, or valued on the basis of their biological bodies.
Specific themes include abortion rights activism, authority in the
classroom, feminist mentoring, the role of women's studies
programs, division of labor, and the role of theater and
performance in enacting lasting change.
