Women in Catholic Higher Education : Border Work, Living Experiences, and Social Justice

An examination of the contemporary contradictions and tensions in women's academic and personal lives at Catholic institutions of higher learning.

Delving into discourse traditionally silenced by the Catholic hierarchy, this edited collection observes the ways in which patriarchal structures often hinder women's advancement within these institutions.

This volume aims to stay rooted to the daily lived experiences of women, describing the obstacles they face while also highlighting the positive and productive roles these women have created for themselves.

This should be an important reference for scholars of women's studies, theology and education as well as for administrators of Catholic and secular higher education.
