Armenti, Carmen
Review of Higher Education, v27 n2 p211-231 Win 2004
This research explores the maternal and career progression decisions of different generations of women professors in Canada. Nineteen women, interviewed in-depth, reveal how they carefully plan childbearing and childrearing experiences around their demanding work schedules, by having May babies or posttenure babies. Results demonstrate the need for alternative models of academic careers.
