US$ 40.00 (+ tax)
This uniquely interdisciplinary study offers a provocative look at the 'Woman Question' in relation to higher education at the dawn of the twenty-first century. Leading feminist scholars from a wide variety of perspectives evaluate the role of biology, discrimination and choice in rationalizing women's exclusion from fully participating in the process of knowledge production, as well as examining institutional impediments. Contextualizing arguments against women's inclusion and including contemporary perspectives on gender, this book offers critical insights to understanding the near universal difficulties that women encounter as they seek to participate fully in the process of knowledge production.
