This is a cogent theme throughout the book, reflecting on women's experiences as intersectionalalways raced, classed, gendered, nuanced and complex. Jointly, the chapters provide important insights into individual and collective contemporary women's experiences in academia from international perspectives, such as gender equity, barriers to success, and achievement. This comprehensive volume provides a reference point for all women and their colleagues working in universities and colleges across the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA comprehensive overview of the wide-ranging experiences of women in academia. It includes viewpoints that to date have been too often silenced, and so presents refreshing accounts of different women’s experiences in academia employing an intersectional lens from all over the globe. Whilst similar barriers and difficulties are documented and charted, unexpected spaces of solidarity and resistances to patriarchy are also documented. This book helps to create a dialogue around an inclusive academia, that aims to reclaim academia for those that do not fit into stereotypical image of a white, middle-aged professor. * Rachel Palmén, Open University of Catalonia, Spain *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Gendered Narrative Experiences of Women in Academia, \u003ci\u003eMichelle Ronksley-Pavia (Griffith University, Australia), Michelle M.
