What a treat it will be to have the best of the best in book form. I look forward to it with enthusiasm." —Carolyn Hershberger, executive director of IT, Olympic College, Washington

Change starts here!,
By Joelline "joelline" - Published on Amazon.com
An elegant, informative, and (often) witty book exploring how far we've come and how far we have yet to go! Highly recommended. If you enjoy this book, check out Stories of the Academy: Learning from the Good Mother by Mary Beth Spore et al. for a similar, equally compelling, look at life for women in Academe.
