Women in the Academy: Learning From Our Diverse Career Pathways

Statistics show that women outnumber men at most universities and that women's pay still lags behind men's, but numbers can only hint at the broader story. This edited collection fills that gap with the stories of twelve women--from part-time faculty members to college presidents--who answer key questions such as why they pursued a career in the academy, how they handled childcare issues, and how they dealt with sexism in the workplace.
