Faculty Women in the American University: Up the Down Staircase

Freeman, Bonnie Cook

Higher Education, 6, 2, 165-88, May 77

The status of academic women, particularly in the most prestigious institutions, is compared to that of faculty men. Inequalities in rank, prestige, rewards, work environment, and social expectations are revealed. This situation is discussed in terms of the women's movement in general, government policy, and university personnel practices. (Author/LBH)
