** 1988, Nadya Aisenberg, Mona Harrington, Women of Academe: Outsiders in the Sacred Grove, University of Massachusetts Press, →ISBN, page 187:And the older women faculty, the emeritae lived around the college and you talked to them and you heard it ... you know, they were just devoted to that place body and soul, and they didn’t care if they made two bent nickels a year, […]
