Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study uses a critical feminist perspective to examine women's progress in the field of higher education since 1970. Judith Glazer-Raymo contrasts the activism of the 1970s, the passivity of the 1980s, and the ambivalence and antipathy demonstrated towards feminism in the 1990s. These waves of change, she explains, were brought about by external forces, by generational differences between women, and by intellectual and ideological struggles within the women's movement and the larger academic culture. Her work draws on the experience of women faculty and administrators as they articulate and reflect on the social, economic, political and ideological contexts in which they work and the multiple influences on their professional and personal lives.
