Description
In essays written specially for this volume, eighteen senior women sociologists engage in analytic reflections on interconnections between their personal lives and their research, teaching, and activism. With humour, irony, and passion, these women, whose institutions range from elite universities to junior colleges, convey their diverse personal histories, career paths, and professional obstacles. As a result, the volume provides a picture of the complex dynamic among individual biography and sociological practice, personal growth, and institutional change. Ann Goetting is Professor of Sociology at Western Kentucky University. Sarah Fenstermaker is Professor of Sociology and Women's Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
