Rezensionen

It's Cold and Lonely at the Middle is thoroughly accessible. Undergraduate students who are considering pursuing academic careers will benefit from reading it. -- Collette Morrow Feminist Collections: A Quarterly Of Women's Studies Resources It's Cold and Lonely at the Middle is an interesting book that draws on and elaborates existing research on gender discrimination in academia and suggests important future research directions in the area. It is surely a welcome addition to sociological literature on the 'chilly climate' of academia and key text for anyone interested in the climate of academia, workplace discrimination, and gender. -- Eve Shapiro, University of California-Santa Barbara Contemporary Sociology
