There is an increased interest in women's studies, particularly in the area of feminist scholarship. At the same time fewer women are present in the academic world. This study explores the need for women to collaborate more with other women in order to promote confidence and competitiveness. Previous research has shown that women who collaborated with both men and women have produced successful research and gained important recognition. Using a protocol which consisted of 35 open-ended questions, this study examined how 28 women from 18 different academic departments and fields in the social sciences, humanities, and professional schools shared information to produce successful results.
