Vaccaro, Annemarie – NASPA Journal About Women in Higher Education, 2011
Although Robin Morgan argued that sisterhood is powerful (1970) and forever (2003), results from this case study show that sisterhood is not easily achieved, even in women's groups in which support for women was a formal goal. Narratives of eight women faculty, middle managers, and top administrators reveal that organizational sexism and women's…

Ducklin, Alan; Ozga, Jenny – Gender and Education, 2007
