“The contributions to the collection present diverse stories and perspectives from the personal to the theoretical and empirical. I finished reading feeling not only more informed but empowered.…Several hundred thousand women are currently employed as post-secondary teachers across North America; all of their Chairs, Deans, and Provosts should read this book and all academic women should know about it.”
—Elissa Foster, Director of Education & Program Evaluation, Department of Family Medicine, Lehigh Valley Health Network
