"I Got to Where I Am by My Own Strength": Women in Hong Kong Higher Education Management.

Luke, Carmen

Chinese University Education Journal, v26 n1 p31-58 Sum 1998

Presents case studies of 11 academic women in senior positions at four universities in Hong Kong. Investigates women's perceptions and experiences of "glass ceiling" factors. Argues that concepts like "glass ceiling" politics cannot be used as universal explanations of women's career trajectories, but must include examinations of cultural values and traditions. (DSK)
