| Summary |
"Since 1992 women faculty and administrators have turned to Women in Higher Education as their barometer of campus climate and survival guide to the topology of career advancement. Now, in this lively compendium of articles from the newsletter's first eight years, editors Mary Dee Wenniger and Mary Helen Conroy provide a wild ride across the turbulent gender equity landscape of American higher education. They offer a broad view of the progress women have made toward achieving full and fair career recognition, and assess the distance that remains to be covered. Readers will appreciate the book's blend of serious commentary, sage advice, and healthy doses of wry humor, as well as successful strategies from women who have broken the academic glass ceiling and scaled campus career ladders."--BOOK JACKET |
