Payne (later Payne-Gaposchkin) went on to have a brilliant academic career. Although she suffered many years of gender discrimination, she eventually became Harvard s first female full professor and chair of the Astronomy Department. 

I joined the faculty at MIT as an assistant professor. I believed that civil rights and affirmative action had solved gender discrimination and that I would not encounter it in my lifetime. I thought the only reason there were so few women on the science faculty at Harvard, where I had been a student, or MIT was that women had children and remained their primary caretakers and that men who did the type of science I was trying to do worked six or seven days a week, 10 to 12 hours a day. So it was pretty obvious why there weren t any women there how could you do these two full-time jobs at once ...

Specs now appeals the district court s grant of summary judgment in favor of JMl on her claims of pregnancy discrimination and disability discrimination. 

With a micropolitical perspective we examine how gender discrimination can take place via informal coalitions, cooperation, and exclusions, as well as by formal arrangements in classrooms. Within the Bremen Summer Universities we study parts of the hidden and gendered curriculum in university education.

Erin referred to women stereotype as being soft and unable to make decision, but said she never heard of or met such assertions about it in the compare she worked in. Many of the women interviewees expressed doubts about gender discrimination and whether they had been subjected to it or not. This may of comse be a reluctancy to see oneselves as as victims of larger social stractures. However, Edward argued...
