This blog is not the only project aimed at highlighting the many intersectional issues affecting women in the professions, and in academia where the problems are well known and one might expect to find these matters more comprehensively addressed. A recent review of a new book of early career academic testimonials emphasises the wide range of discriminatory practices experienced directly and indirectly in the demands for emotional labour, institutionalised and direct sexism encountered by those on the precarious edges of secure employment, and heartless attitudes towards the difficulties of motherhood.
