Another important characteristic of academic settings is the preponderance of men in positions of power. Although women are an increasing part of academic institutions, men still hold most of the positions of power, whether central administrative or departmental leadership positions (Zalk, 1990). At the University of Iowa and Stanford Univerity medical schools the educational hierarchy […]

Historical background
It is important to view tax credits within the context of tax legislation in its entirety, and not as a separate, independent, perhaps feminist initiative. As Blumberg famously argued in 1972, the forces which conspire to prevent women from having the access to work that men enjoy are to be found in a variety of […]
Closer examination
In the microscopic examination of sperm one looks, for example, at the number of sperm cells, their mobility and their shape. The volume of the sperm sample and the degree of acidity are also recorded. It is important that there should have been no ejaculation for three days: research has shown that that is when […]
Blurred Boundaries
Performance of the professor role can incorporate elements of other roles, and boundaries can become unclear particularly if instructors engage in behaviors to reduce relational distance (Garlick, 1994). Especially for graduate students, a professor can serve as a teacher, mentor, counselor, and a friend. Each of these roles is negotiated within the context of an […]

Vaginitis and leukorrhea are general terms applied to a variety of vaginal infections characterized by a whitish discharge. The secretion can also be yellow or green because of the presence […]
Feminist Enterprise
Ann Mumford[795] Introduction As Sainsbury has compellingly argued, ‘the tax system is a crucial nexus of the state, the family, and the market’.[796] The intent of this chapter is to consider the current tax credit system for families, at the intersection of all of these factors. The impact of such initiatives on family decision making, […]
Families and AIDS
Families and friends of people with AIDS often do not receive the same social support as do families and friends of people with other devastating illnesses, such as cancer or Alzheimer’s disease. There is a great social stigma attached to AIDS, and many caregivers find that they have to deal with this pain on their […]
