Negotiating the Glass Ceiling: Careers of Senior Women in the Academic World
Editat de Dr Miriam David, Miriam David, Diana Woodwarden Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 dec 1997
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.
