Synopsis:

Making oneAEs way through the minefields that are found in the academic professions is difficult for anyone, but the issues encountered by women in academe are pervasive and require specific strategies. In this new volume, editors Lynn H. Collins, Joan C. Chrisler, and Kathryn Quina provide a wealth of information about institutional pitfalls in higher-education professions, advice on how to handle difficult situations, and encouragement to those who persevere in their pursuit of an academic career. The book first considers the current state of women in higher education and then turns to an examination of womenAEs roles in academe. Next, a section on assuming leadership in higher education provides insights and advice on breaking the glass ceiling. A final section looks at how to take charge of oneAEs self and oneAEs career. Full of personal accounts including success stories and cautionary tales, Career Strategies for Women Academics is a must-own for women looking for success in academia.
