This text brings together writing and research on feminist experience in academia. It covers issues such as provision of care, maternalism in the academy and dynamics of interaction between women in higher eduction. There are challenging and provocative analyses of many questions: how large is the gap between rhetoric and reality in HE institutions? how do institutions behave towards disabled staff? how far is stereotyping still affecting the roles which women play in academia? what do women face when they combine motherhood with teaching or studying? coping mechanisms and survival tactics are brought under scrutiny, and the effect these have on the behaviour of female academics and their interactions with the institution of each other. This text should provide insight and evidence for researchers to further develop their own theories, and also many starting points for those wishing to undertake their own research. Written in collaboration with the Women in Higher Education Network.

She has published on academic mothers, cross-cultural research methodology, human resource management and most recently on services marketing issues in women-only sex shops. Her abiding passions are her beloved soldier, their five kids, and her fast car as her chariot of escape. Sian Maslin-Prothero Sian is a lecturer in the Postgraduate Division of Nursing at the University of Nottingham. She has written about nursing, social policy and learning. Prior to the world of higher education she had worked as a nurse and midwife in the National Health Service and the Australian outback. Her pleasures are family, gardening, food, wine and laughter.
