Review
'This book examines, in revealing and often moving detail, the experience of a group of women academics and managers who have if not entirely broken, at least cracked, the glass ceiling, and arrived at senior positions in their Universities. For those of us who have also lived out our professional lives and worked at senior levels in these male-dominated institutions, reading about the personal and professional experiences of the sixteen contributors was like sharing family reminiscences and secrets.' - Sally Tomlinson, British Journal of Educational Studies, Vol 47:1 March 1999
Product Description
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.
