Summary
"In this compelling memoir, Mary Kay Thompson Tetreault describes how a Catholic girl from small-town Nebraska discovered her callings as a feminist, as an academic, and as a university administrator. With remarkable candor and compassion, she reflects on how second-wave feminism has transformed academia and how much reform is still needed"-- Provided by publisher
