This edited collection examines women’s roles in the academy. Statistics show that women outnumber men in most universities and that women’s pay still lags behind men’s, but the numbers only hint at the broader story. This edited collection fills that gap with the stories of twelve women—from part-time faculty to college presidents—who answer key questions such as why they pursued a career in the academy and how they handled childcare issues and sexism in the workplace. Advice, encouragement, and caution are offered to guide those considering a career in the academy and those already in academe who are wondering about their options. This book is recommended for burgeoning female scholars and for established scholars of any gender in women’s studies, gender studies, higher education, and communication studies.

Nichola D. Gutgold is professor of communication arts and sciences and associate dean of academics at Schreyer Honors College at Pennsylvania State University.

Angela Linse is executive director of the Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence and associate dean for teaching in the Office of Undergraduate Education at Pennsylvania State University.
