Why is it that in many universities the number of women professors
can literally be counted on the fingers of one hand while the
number of men number in the hundreds? Why are women academics so
relatively disadvantaged and men so firmly in control?
In an attempt to find answers to these questions Negotiating the
Glass Ceiling gathers together the unique personal reflections of
16 eminent women working in higher education across the world.
These personal reflections document some of the changing patterns
of women's lives in higher education since the war, a time of
massive social change within education itself, as well as in
women's lives outside higher education. They also illustrate that
the changes that have occured have been hard won and not without
consequences for the women involved.
