While it offers a sometimes-painful picture of academic conflicts, paralysis, and betrayals, over the course of her career Tetreault and her colleagues grappled with many of the most important issues in higher education over several decades. In this sense it is surely true that Tetreault's career (including her preparation for her career) took place in \"interesting times,\" and this volume offers readers a rare glimpse of the complicated mix of motivations, personalities, values and ideologies that animated both challenges to the status quo and resistance to those challenges.\"\u003c\/div\u003e— Abigail J.

With few female role models, they had to forge their own path and prove that feminist scholarship was a legitimate enterprise. Later, when many of these scholars moved into administrative positions, hoping to reform the university system from within, they encountered entrenched hierarchies, bureaucracies, and old boys' networks that made it difficult to put their feminist principles into practice. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  In this compelling memoir, Mary Kay Thompson Tetreault describes how a Catholic girl from small-town Nebraska discovered her callings as a feminist, as an academic, and as a university administrator. She recounts her experiences at three very different schools: the small progressive Lewis \u0026amp; Clark College, the massive regional university of Cal State Fullerton, and the rapidly expanding Portland State University. Reflecting on both her accomplishments and challenges, she considers just how much second-wave feminism has transformed academia and how much reform is still needed. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  With remarkable candor and compassion, Thompson Tetreault provides an intimate personal look at an era when both women's lives and university culture changed for good.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003ca href='\"https:\/\/d3tto5i5w9ogdd.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/29185420\/Thompson-Tetreault-Acknowledgments.pdf\"'\u003eThe Acknowledgments were inadvertently left out of the first printing of this book.
