Women, Part-Time Faculty, and Illusion.

Burns, Margie

Thought and Action, v8 n1 p13-28 Spr 1992

There is an illusion that each of the thousands of women now teaching writing and other service courses for inadequate pay, benefits, recognition, and job security is doing so only because of her own choices or misjudgments. The illusion must be dispelled; exploitation is at the center of the phenomenon. (MSE)
