Abstract

This book had its genesis in the new wave of consciousness about women's position in society and the women's movement of the 1970s. Its aim is to contribute to the interest in and knowledge about Australian women through a study of a group who share the common situation of women in societies based on a sexual division of roles but who work in the particular locus of a university where they are a minority in both number and status.
