Coming of Age in Academe - Rekindling Women's Hopes and Reforming the Academy (Paperback)

This book explores the plight of feminist scholars in the academy. Martin contends that feminist scholars have traded their idealism and concerns about their lived experience for a place in the academy. Martin is a philosopher of education who looks at the ways that feminists working in the academy find themselves estranged from each other and how estrangement in general is the 'membership fee' the academy exacts on all of its members and feminist scholars in particular. Martin concludes that this dissociation can be stopped only by radically reforming the gendered system on which the academy is based, with feminist scholars leading the fight.
