Julia McQuillan, Mary Ann Holmes, Patricia Wonch Hill, and Mindy Anderson-Knott co-authored a chapter in a new book about women in science, Pathways, Potholes, and the Persistence of Women in Science: Reconsidering the Pipeline, edited by Enobong Hannah Branch, published by Lexington Books.
From the summary: "Training for and pursuing a career in science can be treacherous for women; many more begin than ultimately complete at every stage. Characterizing this as a pipeline problem, however, leads to a focus on individual women instead of structural conditions. The goal of the book is to offer an alternative model that better articulates the ideas of agency, constraint, and variability along the path to scientific careers for women."
The chapter by these four authors, "Does the Road Improve in the Land of the Tenured? Exploring Perceptions of Culture and Satisfaction by Rank and Gender," falls within the section, "Detours, Off-Ramps, and Gendered Roadblocks in Scientific Careers."
