Inhalt: Der vorliegende Sammelband enthält Aufsätze zum Thema Frauenförderung und Frauenforschung an der Hochschule. Es wird gefragt, ob die Kritik der Frauenbewegung an Bildung und Wissenschaft sowie an der weiblichen Unterrepräsentanz an der Hochschule genützt hat. Die Autorinnen fragen nach der Bedeutung von Frauenförderung und -forschung in den Institutionen Hochschule und Wissenschaft, nach den Hindernissen für Frauen in akademischen Einrichtungen, nach den Ergebnissen von erhobenen Forderungen. Die verwaltungstechnische Seite der Frauenfrage an den Hochschulen wird ebenso thematisiert wie verschiedene Institutionalisierungswege zur Förderung von Frauen und Frauenforschung. Die Beiträge verstehen sich als Anregung zur weiteren Diskussion und Auseinandersetzung. (ICE)

Information detailing the status of academic women in nine countries is included along with analyses of these women's experiences in socio-historical context. The papers are grouped in four sections. The first section contains an introductory essay, "In the Same Boat? Academic Women around the World," written by the editors.

Hawkins and Dagmar Schultz; "Women Connecting with Women: Networks and Mentors in the United States," by Virginia E. O'Leary and Judith M. Mitchell; and "Would More Women Make a Difference?

Astin; "The Juggling Act: Work and Family in Norway," by Suzanne S.
