| Abstract | Prologue: The fork in the road -- 'Like Dolmens round my childhood'... sometimes.. -- Making and not making choices -- Coming home -- Success? -- Ten years in management -- Back to being a full-time professor again -- Reflections -- Epilogue: Don't you hate men?. "This book, written by an insider, explores experiences over a 46-year career in five academic organisations in Ireland and the UK: moving from contract research assistant to full professor and line manager (Dean). Highlighting success and failure, strength and fragility, it challenges ideas about what it is to be a 'proper woman'. It describes the subtle and relentless processes of devaluation, marginalisation and disempowerment that are often 'normalised.' Written in a clear accessible style, with flashes of humour, it asks whose interests are served by taken-for-granted ideas about what it is to be a woman - ideas which deny the reality of many women's day-to-day experiences. Who wants us to think that all women find identity and satisfaction in housework and child care? Who wants us to think that universities are meritocratic institutions? The book will inspire and entertain all those who have struggled in any male dominated organisation and wondered if they were the problem"--Provided by publisher. |
