This revealing volume examines the current role and status of women
in higher education -- and suggests a direction for the future.
Judith Glazer-Raymo and other distinguished scholars and
administrators assess the progress of women in academe using three
lenses: the feminist agenda as a work in progress, growing internal
and external challenges to women's advancement, and the need for
active engagement with the challenges at hand.
Drawing on the latest research, the contributors explore issues
faced by women as newly minted Ph.D.s, as faculty members, as
administrators, and as academic leaders. They describe women's
struggles with the multiple and often conflicting demands of
productivity, accountability, family-work responsibility, and the
subconscious "dance of identities" within a variety of cultural
contexts.
Shedding light on the past, present, and future of women in
higher education, this authoritative book concludes with
recommendations for meeting new and ongoing gender challenges in
the next decade.
