Individual Voices, Collective Visions: Fifty Years of Women in Sociology

Women in the Political Economy

by Ann Goetting, Sarah Fenstermaker (Editor)

In essays written specially for this volume, eighteen senior women sociologists engage in analytic reflections on interconnections between their personal lives and their research, teaching, and activism. With humor, irony, and passion, these women—whose institutions range from elite universities to junior colleges—convey their diverse personal histories, career paths, and professional obstacles. As a result, the volume provides a picture of the complex dynamic among individual biography and sociological practice, personal growth, and institutional change.
