Inhalt: "This paper presents preliminary findings from a WEU international survey of the academic men and women in Poland and Germany. In this paper we focus on selected aspects of academic careers linked to tensions that may arise from different and conflicting roles men and women play in professional and private spheres. We attempted to propose an explanatory framework that would allow us to explain cross-national differences between career patterns in both countries as well as the extend of gender differences within the countries. This explanatory framework is linked to different university cultures and organizational aspects academic careers as well as different contexts and histories of higher education feminization processes. In Germany they would be based on negative or discriminatory integration of women into German academia and in Poland the integration took through 'loyalty contract' with all positive and negative consequences (e.g. acceptance of patriarchal and paternalistic academic culture and resistance to the feminist discourse). We found that barriers and hindrances related to the problems with reconciliation between work and family do not play a major role in career outcomes of academic women neither in Poland nor in Germany but they still affect career strategies in Germany. Polish academia provides also much more room for reconciliation of work and family than German one and this seems to be even more crucial than availability or quality of childcare. Generally academic careers in Germany put more pressures on both men and women than in Poland. Moreover these pressures seem to have less to do with the workload but rather organization of academic careers." (author's abstract)

Inhalt: "This paper examines why there is a continual struggle for women in Sweden to reach gender equality within academic professions even after ten years of governmental policies promoting gender equality. Using statistical data analysis I can show a pattern where women academics tend not to return to their place of work after a period of long-term sick leave. Through empirical analysis of a focus group interview of female academics own experiences of doing career in a male dominated area is evaluated. I conclude that changed working conditions for women, with an increasing amount of de-professionalizing tasks, have lead to a situation where an increasing number of women lower their work commitment as a coping strategy or exit the profession temporarily or permanently through a period of sick leave. Both these factors, produced by the work place, prevent women from reaching top positions within Swedish universities. Thus, while women's possibilities for making a career in academia formally has been strengthen new obstacles preventing advancement within the organization have appeared. This study brings two of these new and hidden discriminating factors to the surface." (author's abstract)

Inhalt: This book is a unique `collective biography' of women scholars in the `hard' sciences at the University of Madras. As an ethnographic case study, it combines a comprehensive description of the lives and careers of individual women who struggle in a male-dominated workplace that marginalizes them with an analysis of the structures and organizational features that serve to maintain them in that peripheral position.
