Their narratives reflect the issues confronting women in the medical academy today including working in situations where power relations are embedded and enacted daily in the ethos of the institution; where rigid disciplinary boundaries do not include or invite inquiry into gender race ethnicity or class; where integrating one's personal and work life often seems overwhelming. Yet their stories reflect the success and recognition that women in academic medicine have achieved.</p><p>The book includes essays written by Beth Alexander Janet Bickel Dale G. Blackstock Kate H.
