Luke (korrick) | 2004 comments Working-Class Women in the Academy: Laborers in the Knowledge Factory, Michelle M. Tokarczyk and Elizabeth A. Fay, editors, 1993, United States, ESSAYS

"Written by teachers, students, and retired academics in styles ranging from the formal and academic to the informal and personal, each of these twenty diverse and enlightened essays makes an intense and powerful examination of the realities working-class women encounter in academic life...And, without exception, all address the academy's failure—often expressed as blatant and hostile refusal—to address the reality of class issues..."

(J.L., p. 343)
