About this product
Product Information
There has been a great deal of focus on sexual harassment and the #MeToo movement. But many women's experiences in male dominated organisations are far more diverse and include being stereotyped, patronised, marginalised, devalued- and up to a point, successful. Relatively little has been written about these experiences.

Reviews
'a fascinating, well-paced, beautifully written memoir' (Professor Sarah Moore, Author and Director, MA in Creative Writing, University of Limerick, Ireland)'A wonderfully honest, often witty, personal account from someone who experienced discrimination -and challenged it - at every level of academia. So much of what has changed for women in recent decades is chronicled through Pat's life, research and actions. A tour de force' (Micheline Sheehy Skeffington, plant ecologist and feminist activist)'This book evokes the lived experience of a woman who, out of her time, marshalled the brains, the courage and--I have to say it--the sheer bloody-minded and tireless determination to confront others with one question: 'why?'. Asking the question came at no small personal cost, but--slowly and surely--it started to prise open some of the seemingly impenetrable male-centric power edifices that exist across academia; openings which now give so many others hope. Don't be afraid of reading this book about the lifetime of someone who asked why, it may just inspire you to do the same'. (Paul Walton, Professor of Chemistry, University of York, UK and international gender equality advocate) An incredibly important and beautifully written account of perseverance and passion by one of the pioneers of research on gender in academia. In this book, Pat O'Connor continues to inspire new generations of feminist scholars and academic leaders with her honest and intimate story of her own gendered career path (Marieke van den Brink, Professor Gender & Diversity Studies, Radboud University, Nijmegen, the Netherlands) A 'Proper' Woman is a beautiful, beautifully grounded, and often moving and inspiring, text - combining (auto)biography, life writing, life story, story-telling, an accounting of a career, and a case study of a woman, and women, in and around the university world, and beyond. The book contributes to and across several areas, including Studies of Higher Education, Gender Studies, and Critical Studies on Men and Masculinities; it has been a personal privilege to read it (Jeff Hearn, Hanken School of Economics, Finland; author of: Age at Work; Knowledge, Power and Young Sexualities; and Men of the World).

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

I was pleasantly surprised by how soon I received this textbook given that it shipped from outside the U.S. It was packaged well with no damage. The price was right. And I greatly appreciated the communication informing me where the book was shipping from and including a tracking number. Overall, a positive experience, - online shopping the way it should be. I've bought books from this seller several times now without any complaints and will surely buy from them again. Thanks a lot!

Quality and hard to find book that won't be released 'til January 2025 in the U.S.A.
Fantastic price.
Book was in a secure and protective package. Arrived a few days after I placed order and that was faster than I expected.
Seller is a fantastic communicator and proactive in regards to tracking status. I'd definitely buy from them in the future.
