Women in the Academy: Learning From Our Diverse Career Pathways (Communicating Gender) By Nichola D. Gutgold Hardcover 1498520340 9781498520348 Women in the Academy: Learning From Our Diverse Career Pathways (Communicating Gender) This edited collection examines women’s roles in the academy. Statistics show that women outnumber men in most universities and that women’s pay still lags behind men’s, but the numbers only hint at the broader story. This edited collection fills that gap with the stories of twelve women—from part time faculty to college presidents—who answer key questions such as why they pursued a career in the academy and how they handled childcare issues and sexism in the workplace. Advice, encouragement, and caution are offered to guide those considering a career in the academy and those already in academe who are wondering about their options. This book is recommended for burgeoning female scholars and for established scholars of any gender in women’s studies, gender studies, higher education, and communication studies. 0082 W87246 2016 Hardcover I had the privilege of an advanced reading of this fascinating collection of what I ll call essay memoirs of women who have achieved success in higher education in spite of often crushing cultural obstacles Too often we re shown images of successful women after they have made it but rarely do we see what their slog through all the no you can t shouldn t do that travails are like and the concerted efforts to hold them back block passage undercut confidence negatively label and guilt them into abandoning their efforts Suffice it to say this book is a heaping spoonful of reality for women who aspire to leadership careers in the academy the halls of higher ed The stories and even confessions of each contributor are eye opening illuminating and inspiring For those who think that the struggles for women faced in the educational workplace are history it s time to think again You would think that breaking down such barriers in the halls where enlightenment should flourish would have been a thing of the past Read these stories and you ll see otherwise Take these stories to heart and perhaps we can all help to do something about it Hardcover
