Trade ReviewThis excellent volume offers a sobering assessment of women's situation in higher education. Choice 2009 Unfinished Agendas is an impressive follow-up to Glazer- Raymo's 1999 book Shattering the Myths: Women in Academe... This book achieves satisfying breadth without watering down what is a vitally important-and complex-topic for those concerned about the future of the academic workforce. -- Melissa McDaniels Academe 2009 Masterfully handled... This book, published in the midst of a period of extreme financial turbulence, is a fine portrait of a set of institutions whose contribution to the students it serves may need reviewing. -- S.L. Sutherland Times Higher Education 2008 Unfinished Agendas is a book that any scholar, leader, student, and staff member in higher education should read. Not only does the book provide valuable insight into the position of women... it also provides practical recommendations of ways to alter policies, discourses, practices, and cultures to move higher education in a more pluralistic direction. -- Linda Serra Hagedorn Journal of College Student Retention 2009 Unfinished Agendas is a worthwhile book. -- Judy Haiven CAUT Bulletin 2010
