Description: "In Shattering the Myths, Judith Glazer-Raymo uses a critical feminist perspective to examine women's progress in higher education since 1970. She contrasts the activism of the 1970s, the passivity of the 1980s, and the ambivalence and antipathy demonstrated toward feminism in the 1990s.

These waves of change, she explains, were brought about by external forces, by generational differences between women, and by intellectual and ideological struggles within the women's movement and the larger academic culture. The book draws on the experience of women faculty and administrators as they articulate and reflect on the social, economic, political, and ideological contexts in which they work and the multiple influences on their professional and personal lives."--BOOK JACKET.
