The Situation of Women Who Teach in Universities: Contrasts and Common Ground.
Sutherland, Margaret B.
Comparative Education, v21 n1 p21-28 1985
Interviews were conducted with 244 women teaching in universities in Finland, France, East Germany, West Germany, and Great Britain to discover causes for the minority position of women who teach in universities. Women's position appeared to depend not on characteristics of individual educational systems but on common factors--social attitudes, stereotypes, and prejudices. (JHZ)
