Description
This book explores the career paths of Australian women who have succeeded in achieving professorships and beyond, highlighting the challenges they faced and the factors that contributed to their success.
It also delves into the gendered culture within faculties and universities, drawing on survey data and interviews with over 500 new professors and nearly 30 women in Australian higher education. The book identifies key catalysts for and barriers to success, as well as the impact of traditional "boys' clubs" on women's career progression.
By examining the critical life decisions that shape academic women's careers, such as doctoral study, work, and family, the authors identify five distinct career profiles and the pressure points and effective support needed for each. This insightful book provides valuable guidance for women academics making important career choices and those supporting their progress.
