An elegant, informative, and (often) witty book exploring how far we've come and how far we have yet to go! Highly recommended. If you enjoy this book, check out Stories of the Academy: Learning from the Good Mother by Mary Beth Spore et al. for a similar, equally compelling, look at life for women in Academe.
