Description

"The authors and editors have done a remarkable job conveying the miltivocal, multilayered, and complex nature of feminist inquiry... Overall, the theory, practice and research contributions were most impressive...The narratives, in turn, were extraordinary."?Journal of College Student Development "Pasque and Nicholson's Empowering Women in Higher Education and Student Affair's best feature is the experiences shared by the women featured in the book. From student affairs professional's mentorship early in her career, to experiences of immigrant Italian Americans, the book expands cultural awareness and competence. It provides a rich history of women administrators in higher education and provides insight to how the feminist movement aided in where we are today. It offers practical wisdom for those experiencing barriers in their own career progression and those who may wish to serve as a mentor...This book would be an excellent recommendation for young professionals seeking insight for professional development or perhaps even women graduate students. It would serve as an excellent common book for a women's studies or higher education leadership course, or even for a circle of colleagues on your campus."?NACADA Journal An ACPA Publication
